Was out of placings last time (30.58) at The Meadows in a Mix 6/7 FIN, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from three starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (25.62) at this track over 450m. Racing well and can find winning form again.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an eye-catching winner scoring by 2.75 lengths in a Maiden at Bendigo and clocking a solid 23.93 over the 425m trip. Can come into calculations at odds.
