Finished in the minors last time in a Special conditions H at this track when a 0.8 lengths second but did run a strong 30.00 over the 525m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Eye-catching performance to score by 1.4 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, recording a useful 30.10 over the 525m journey. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.

Missed the frame latest (30.53) when fourth over 525m at this track in a Special conditions H. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks a place chance at best.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last start finished 5th on July 17 over 515m at Sandown behind Deadly Avenger beaten 12 lengths (29.87) in a Free For All. Capable of taking this out.
