Was out of placings last time (23.94) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing eighth and beaten 14 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Has finished sixth at the last two runs, both at Gosford, the latest when beaten 9 lengths behind Whisky Bent over 388m. Shouldn't trouble the top few hopes.
