Missed the frame latest (30.36) when sixth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and five places from 11 starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Was out of placings last time (42.28) at Wentworth Park in a NG, finishing eighth and beaten 11 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Among the chances on best.

Finished third last start (30.18) at big odds over 515m at The Gardens. Drawn awkwardly. Will need plenty of luck.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 472m at Bulli. Can't recommend against this lot.
