Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 0.8 lengths third (26.07) over 450m at this track and making it two placings on end. Thereabouts last couple and expected to run well.

Placed last time (24.22) at Bendigo in a Grade 6, finishing second and beaten 6 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
