Placed last time (23.31) at Mt Gambier in a TG1-4W, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Solid performance to post a big 5.5 lengths win at Wagga over 400m (23.25) beating Navy Davies in Grade 5 on February 20. Can't make much of a case this time.
