Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won easily by 3.5 lengths at this track (18.38) beating Miss Down Under in a Grade 5 on August 9. Capable of a good showing.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning four on end before placing two back. Looks a leading contender on best and expected to bounce back.

Good effort to win last start by half a length over 340m at Bulli in a handy (19.45), beating Speedy Van Wezel. Will find this a bit tougher, this will test.
