Narrowly beaten last time at this track when only a nose from the winner but did record a powerful 18.03 over the 312m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Strong performance to win by a nose at this track over 312m (18.02) beating Brave Ember in Free For All on September 15. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 312m at this track. That followed a win two back in 18.05 beating Flip Your Fifty over 312m at this track. Prepared to risk.
