Narrowly beaten last time at Q Straight when only a nose from the winner but did record an excellent 16.48 over the 300m journey. Looks an each way chance again here.

Eye-catching performance to score by one length in a Grade 5 last start at Capalaba, clocking a hot 19.75 for the 366m trip. In form and worth thought again.
