Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 2 length win at Murray Bridge Straight over 300m in 17.16. Goes very well from this box including three wins. Leading player.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording four placings in a row, before finishing fourth (20.05) at Angle Park last start. Aided by a low draw but will need to find best.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished 4th on October 22 over 530m at Angle Park behind Ribery beaten 6 lengths (30.92) in a Grade 6. Has a very good strike-rate out of box 4, scoring two times. Go close.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.5 lengths in a OPEN last start at Mt Gambier, clocking an excellent 17.46 for the 305m trip. In form and can measure up again.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 0.8 lengths second at this track but did record a fast 25.56 over the 455m trip. Prefer others this time.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd in a OPEN on October 21 over 300m at Murray Bridge Straight behind Lenny's Honey beaten 1.3 lengths (17.04). The form from the last run stacks up well. Worth including.
