Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warragul over 400m in 22.67. Followed that up with a minor placing over 390m at this track at Restricted WIN H a week ago. Can't enthuse on this occasion.

In rare form with a current sequence of four wins on the bounce. Added to the tally last start when he won by 1.5 lengths at this track (22.32) beating Ferret's Knock in a Restricted WIN H on January 29. Flying lately and can score again.
