Comments

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 450m at Warrnambool. Prior to that won easily by 3.5 lengths at this track (29.46) beating Bo Rhapsody in a Grade 5 on April 17. Well-performed from this box. Key chance on best form.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3.5 lengths second (29.70) over 515m at this track. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Comments

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (37.00) over 640m at Sale. Has a wide draw to navigate but can measure up.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
