Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 5 length third over 525m The Meadows in 30.82. Boxed on well last time to hit the frame. Rates highly again.

Was out of placings last time (29.96) at this track in a Free For All, finishing fourth and beaten 8 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting three victories and four places from 10 starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Was well supported last time and gave a sight after a strong early split but weakened late to finish a 3.5 lengths fifth (23.13) over 400m at Warragul. Has run blistering time here with a 29.29 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.
