Finished in the minors last time in a NG at this track when a 3 length third but did run a slick 29.56 over the 515m trip. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Impressive performance to score by 3 lengths in a NG last start at this track, recording a superb 29.34 over the 515m journey. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
