Turned in another impressive display after running them ragged to make it two on end at this track over 350m (19.88). Appeals as a leading chance again.

Eye-catching performance to score by 4 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at The Gardens, clocking a solid 22.92 over the 400m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

In the money last time at Casino (16.93) in a Grade 5, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Yet to win but has placed seven times from this draw. Looks one of the chances.
