Ordinary effort last start when seventh over 350m at Healesville. Prior to that won by a head at this track (22.80) beating Xisan Bale in a Grade 5 on March 20. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Improved sharply when second behind Luca Skywalker at this track last start over 460m (27.09). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Was out of placings last time (30.11) at Sandown in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Among the main chances.
