Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 0.8 lengths second (25.20) over 450m at Maitland and making it two placings on end. Won at his only start from this draw. Top chance to make it two from two.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (29.96) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and two places from four starts. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.
