Good effort last time when third (23.46) over 400m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Looks to have the job ahead.

Was out of placings last time (22.60) at Gosford in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Tough field and looking to others this time.
