Didn't make the placings last time at Warrnambool (25.63) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Others appear better placed.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 1.4 lengths third over 515m at Sandown, clocking 29.71. Boxed on well last time to hit the frame. Rates highly again.
