Running consistently; good effort when 1½l third in a stakes race last month upped to 1m2f; has to be taken seriously.

Close up behind Boundless Love when sixth over 7f here (handicap) last month; managed two wins in his last three outings; breaks from ground-saving draw so looks like a player.

Creditable effort to finish third here over 1m1f (handicap) last month; has kicked on in his last couple of races; this just his second run in a handicap; the draw will help so definite chance.

Gave good account to finish third last month in an apprentice handicap; potentially well treated on his best form and course specialist (four wins).

Verdict

This looks tight. Orange County needs to be considered while Shoreybomba rates a big danger. However, GREENLIGHT RACER gets the nod. He was behind Boundless Love latest but can now overturn placings and has won over this trip before.
