Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at his latest appearance in an A2 at this track over 500m (30.38). Decent recent form so demands respect.

Could only manage fourth last time out over 500m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. This looks too tough.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just one length into third over 500m at this track. Cannot be ignored based on that sound recent effort.

Hit the ground running last time and never headed, leading throughout to score an impressive 1.75 lengths win (30.33) at this track. Was strongly supported and ran right away with it last time. Follow up.
