Modest effort last time out when fifth over 350m at Grafton. Not going well enough. Needs to lift.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 6 length third over 642m at Q Lakeside, clocking 36.54. More than capable and ready to find best form.
