Was out of placings last time (30.94) at Wanganui in a Class 1, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Backs up after finishing 6th on May 5 over 457m at this track in a Class 1. Looks a place chance at best.

Comments

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a seventh over 457m at this track. Might find this too tough.

Last start finished 5th over 457m at this track beaten 10 lengths (26.98) behind Bumper Bill in a Class 1 on May 5. Has run blistering time here with a 25.62 PB at the distance. Gets chance to atone.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (26.56) at this track in a Class 1. Lines up from box 8 for the first time. Looks ready to win.
