Ran right away with it after running them ragged making it three straight at Bendigo over 425m (23.85). Makes strong appeal on recent runs.

Missed the frame last start when a 7 length fourth (23.21) at Geelong. Previous form sound including a win three back at Geelong. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2 length third over 450m this track in 25.43. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
