Finished in the placings last time but the run prior he was a strong winner scoring by 4.5 lengths in a Special conditions H at Geelong and recording a scintillating 25.28 for the 460m journey. Should be in this for a long way.

Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 4/5 on June 9 over 485m at this track behind Paw Winder beaten 3.5 lengths (27.50). Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 30.32 with a half a length win at The Meadows over 525m. Looks a solid contender.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 515m at Sandown in a handy (29.99), beating Paw Kattia. Will find this a bit tougher, others read better.
