Did a good job two starts back at Warrnambool to win by 11 lengths in 25.35, beating Aston Cleese. Last start finished last on October 2 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Weblec Snoop beaten 12 lengths (26.18) in a Restricted WIN H. On best form is more than capable. Keep safe.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was an eye-catching winner scoring by half a length in a Grade 5 at Warrnambool. Rates a top chance if runs up to time two back.
