Missed the frame last start when a 5.5 lengths seventh (19.02) at this track. Previous form sound including a win three back at this track. Looks a leading contender on best and expected to bounce back.

Was out of the placings last time at Q Lakeside but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Has a decent strike-rate off the draw but will need the breaks to go his way.

Last start finished 6th over 300m at this track beaten 2.5 lengths (16.81) behind Swift Ethics in a Grade 5 on March 16. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Modest effort last time out when fifth over 350m at this track. This looks too tough.
