Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 375m in 21.42 last start, beating Rustic Kiwi. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.

Was out of placings last time (21.88) at this track in a Class 4/5, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Looks a leading chance.
