Comments

Did a good job two starts back at Launceston to win by 7 lengths in 29.44, beating Rojo Boloney. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 4 on June 24 over 515m at Launceston behind Jamella Rocket beaten 0.8 lengths (30.08). Other runners look much more appealing.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (42.14) in a Special conditions H, finishing a 2.25 lengths fourth. Goes very well off the draw boasting six wins and two places from nine starts. Has ability and should feature.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 2.25 lengths second over 350m Grafton in 20.26. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.
