Latest effort finished 5th over 450m at this track beaten 9 lengths (26.31) behind Lochinvar Dude in a Maiden on May 30. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Is a five start maiden overdue for a win, hitting the frame last start when second (23.35) over 400m at Geelong. Has finished in the money at the last two starts. Should play a big role.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when fifth (23.64) at Geelong. Tricky draw to overcome and looks safely held.
