Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished third at his latest appearance in an A7 at this track over 500m (30.69). Decent recent form so demands respect.

Followed a minor placing at this track two runs ago with a sound third, beaten 3 lengths, last start in an A7 at this track over 500m (30.40). Sure to play a major role.

Yet to break through in two runs but has been thereabouts. Settled off speed early and held position to finish fourth (30.50) at this track over 500m. Likely to be much improved on the experience.

Finished fourth two starts ago then regained form last time out when he found one better over 500m in an A7 at this track. Racing well enough to play a big role.
