Was out of placings last time (16.64) at Launceston in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Impressive performance to score by a nose in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a fast 19.50 over the 340m trip. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.
