Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.45) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3 length fourth. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by 1.5 lengths in 23.45, beating Heart. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on July 17 over 300m at Healesville behind Happy Chick beaten 4 lengths (17.12). Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.66) in a Grade 5, finishing a 12 length seventh. Has two successes and three minors from 10 starts from box 4. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Comments

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up sixth (23.31) at this track over 400m. Solid claims this line-up.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
