Eye-catching performance to score by 2.75 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, recording a superb 22.74 over the 400m journey. Harder here but worth including in multiples.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when fifth (20.91) at Nowra. Has a decent strike-rate from the draw but will need the right run to feature.
