Did a good job two starts back at Cannington to win by 0.8 lengths in 16.14, beating Wheel Around. Last start finished 5th on February 6 over 300m at this track behind Fearless Two beaten 5.5 lengths (17.55) in a Grade 5. Is a danger.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Cannington over 381m in 21.75. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 300m at this track at Grade 5 level. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 300m at this track. That followed a win two back in 21.79 beating Just Must over 381m at Cannington. Not keen this time.
