Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (31.64) over 545m at this track. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Latest effort finished 6th in a Rank Limit - Grade 6 on August 4 over 400m at Geelong behind Aston Grandeur beaten 12 lengths (23.34). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
