Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (23.05) at The Gardens over 400m. More than capable and has to be included.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (28.17) over 500m at Bendigo. Has a squeeze box to navigate and appears tested on latest effort.
