Suited by inside box. Last start finished 4th in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on January 8 over 400m at Warragul behind Sweet Coin Babe beaten 4 lengths (23.33). Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Was out of placings last time (26.93) at Warragul in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 13 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and three places from eight starts. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 390m in 22.62. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 450m at Shepparton at Grade 5 level. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (17.09) over 300m at this track. Boxed out wide but capable of a better result.
