Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was an impressive winner after leading throughout, scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Free For All at Rockhampton and recording a convincing 23.56 over the 407m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was a strong winner scoring by 1.3 lengths in a OPEN at this track and recording a dynamic 28.63 over the 498m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 498m at this track in a handy (28.35), beating Slim Nikita. Has run hot time here with a 28.35 PB at the distance. Must include.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 643m in 37.45. Followed that up with a minor placing over 498m at this track at OPEN a week ago. Not suited by wide draw, thereabouts last time others preferred this line-up.
