In sparkling form lately having won three races on the trot. Last start won by one length at this track (29.39) beating Trapstyle Bluey in an A2 on June 20. In a purple patch of form and likely to run well again.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but gathered in late when a narrow fourth (29.77) over 500m at this track. Solid showing expected.
