Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at The Meadows over 525m in 30.12 last start, beating Holden Bale. Can make it two on the bounce.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, look for improvement. Not out of it.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 400m at Geelong in a handy (22.61), beating Pixie Trixie. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.
