Winner two starts back at Monmore over 480m in 28.34. Last start found the minor prize over 480m at Monmore in OR1. Yet to win but has been in the placings two times from this draw. Worth thought.

Going well this campaign in two runs. In the money first up at Monmore then finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, in a OR1 at Monmore last start over 480m (28.34). The one to beat.
