Didn't make the placings last time at this track (22.44) in a OPEN, finishing a 14 length eighth. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from eight starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Rates strongly and can return to winning form.
