Form has been steadily improving. Last start finished third over 400m at this track in 24.91 behind Hesarightbucko. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but could manage only third (24.69) over 400m at this track. Should be around the mark.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 400m at this track. Cannot be overlooked based on that sound recent effort.
