Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (30.71) at The Meadows over 525m. Racing well and has to be included.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (30.43) over 525m at The Meadows. Drawn awkwardly. Looks to have the job ahead.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to score by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5 FIN last start at Warragul, clocking a solid 25.93 over the 460m trip. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (29.87) at this track over 515m. Racing well and deserves a win.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 435m at Sale. That followed a win two back in 26.00 beating Full Bore Bobby over 460m at Warragul. Happy enough to avoid.
