Showed blistering pace early but found one better when a 1.75 lengths second over 520m Nowra in 29.44. Solid chance with even luck.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Geelong over 520m. Last start finished 6th on April 10 over 520m at Geelong behind Brother Doom beaten 9 lengths (30.75) in a Special conditions H. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 460m at Geelong beaten 1.5 lengths (25.75) behind Kiwi Henry in a Grade 4/5 on April 17. Will not find this easy. Not keen.
