Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (30.14) over 520m at Wentworth Park. Has a decent record when drawn the inside and capable of a better result.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 450m at Grafton. That followed a win two back in 30.38 beating All Out Fire over 525m at Taree Super Track. Happy enough to avoid.
