Hit the frame latest (19.61) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Can feature with the right run.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (19.61) at this track over 340m. Should be right in the finish.

In the money last time at Richmond (18.66) in a Grade 5, finishing a nose second. Yet to win but has placed five times from this draw. Key chance and should go close.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 340m in 19.31 last start, beating Warlord Nev. Looks to have an edge on most of these.

Won two starts back at Tamworth over 340m in 20.72. Followed that up with a minor placing over 402m at Tamworth at Grade 4/5 a week-and-a-half ago. Not keen this time.
