Could only manage eighth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (19.50) over 350m at Healesville. Aided by a low draw but will need the right run to feature.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 390m at Ballarat. That followed a win two back in 26.03 beating Mombasa's Best over 450m at Ballarat. Tested under these conditions.
