Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (26.00) in a Grade 5, finishing a 6 length seventh. Has four wins and six placings from 13 starts from the draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth (22.41) over 390m at this track. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.
