Strong performance to score by 3 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, clocking an excellent 21.91 for the 390m trip. Hard to top on that run.

Didn't make the placings last time at Horsham (23.70) in a Free For All, finishing a 6 length fourth. Goes very well off the draw boasting three wins and two places from six starts. Suited here and expected to run well.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by half a length in 22.31, beating Sweet I Am. Last start finished last over 390m at Ballarat beaten 14 lengths (23.02) behind Aston Fontaine in a Grade 5 on August 26. Well placed and among the chances here.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, doesn't profile as a likely winner.
