Was edged out last time at this track when beaten just a neck but did clock a solid 24.53 over the 435m trip. Harder here and one for the multiples.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 24.68 over 435m at this track. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to run well.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, racing well and has to be included.
