Won two starts back when well in the market at Warragul over 460m. Last start finished 3rd on July 18 over 460m at this track behind Lady Julia beaten 2.5 lengths (26.14) in a Grade 5 H. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Won two starts back at Bendigo over 500m in 27.96. Followed that up with a minor placing over 525m at The Meadows at Special conditions H six days ago. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 3 lengths at The Meadows (30.15) beating Paw Imperial in a Grade 5 on July 9. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 460m at Warragul in a handy (25.78), beating Paw Leon. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to risk on this occasion.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 5 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at The Meadows three back. Has ability and worth including.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 6 length third over 525m The Meadows in 30.27. Yet to win but has been in the placings three times from this draw. Worth thought.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Capable and may well bounce back this time.
