Stake: $16,115

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 515m in 29.43 last start, beating Paw Ultra. Likes the rails so solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 29.62 in a 3 length win at this track over 515m. Returned in great order and can make it two on the bounce.

Impressive performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by a 0.8 lengths in a Grade 7 last start at The Meadows, recording a respectable 30.06 over the 525m journey. In form and must include in calculations at odds.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won easily by 4 lengths at Ballarat (25.20) beating Accredited in a Mix 6/7 H on February 26. Not keen, needs to lift.
