Didn't make the placings last time at Traralgon (20.49) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length sixth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Has ability and can sneak into the finish.

Was edged out last time at Healesville when beaten just a neck but did clock an excellent 16.67 over the 300m journey. Expected to push the clock again here.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 450m at Shepparton. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
