Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (42.22) over 715m at Sandown. Has a fair record off the rails draw and in the mix on his best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (34.82) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Makes strong appeal.

Placed only run here over this trip. Latest effort finished 6th on May 27 over 410m at Horsham behind Wario beaten 11 lengths (24.10) in a Special conditions Veteran race. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won comfortably by 4 lengths at Warragul (39.55) beating Tanner Time in a Restricted WIN on May 13. Likely to find this too tough.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (37.66) over 650m at Shepparton. Has to overcome a wide draw but can measure up.
