Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (25.06) over 450m at this track. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (22.52) at this track over 400m. Has an excellent 24.82 best time at this course and distance. Worth including.

Backs up after finishing 6th on May 16 over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 5. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 350m at Grafton. That followed a win two back in 19.57 beating Jock over 340m at Gunnedah. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.
