Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 4 length third over 515m at this track, clocking 29.60. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 9 length second (29.75) over 515m at this track. Top-three hope with the right run.
