Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a scorching early split and ran away with a one length win at this track over 500m in 28.06. Form strong and a huge chance to register the hat-trick.

Could manage only fifth last time but caught the eye the start prior when he clocked a brilliant 28.08 over 500m finishing second at this track. Harder here and looks a place chance only.
