Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 1.3 lengths at this track (23.09) beating Reborn Scarlett in a Grade 4 on July 24. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.

Hasn't produced too much recently, and faces tougher opposition here. Has failed to show enough to come into contention here.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (23.04), beating Road To Ibrox. Will find this a bit tougher, doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Won at Maitland over 400m two starts back but then was a little disappointing last start, fading at the end of 450m at Maitland. Looks up against it this time.
