He hasn't been setting the track on fire and faces tougher opposition here. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.

Finished second last time (30.46) over 525m at The Meadows. Squeeze draw to overcome. One of the better hopes.

In the money last time at this track (29.70) in a Mix 3/4, finishing a 5 length third. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
