Solid performance to post a big 5.5 lengths win at Wagga over 400m (23.25) beating Navy Davies in Grade 5 on February 20. Can't make much of a case this time.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 350m at Murray Bridge in a handy (19.51), beating Cash Paid. Ran the fastest time on the program in the latest win. Worth following up.
