Goes well at this track and trip. Most recently finished last on January 25 over 383m at this track behind Ontario beaten 8 lengths (22.79) in a Grade 3/4. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

Latest effort finished last over 312m at this track beaten 7 lengths (18.68) behind Blue Marguerite in a Grade 3/4 on February 1. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 6 lengths over 312m at this track in a handy 18.02, beating Zombie Boss. Was in the money two on end before breaking through last start. Stick with him.

Good performance to win by a nose at this track over 312m (18.31) beating Bing Bing Peril in Grade 5 on February 1. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
