Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 401m. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on July 31 over 401m at this track behind Akii Royale beaten 5 lengths (23.11). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 520m at this track. That followed a win two back in 29.91 beating Messy Boy over 520m at this track. Hard to tip with any confidence.
