Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 401m at this track in a handy (22.99), beating You Two. Will find this a bit tougher, in winning form but this a tough assignment.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th in a Grade 4/5 on March 20 over 401m at this track behind Tumby Bay beaten 10 lengths (23.64). Placed two back at this track. Capable of taking this out.
