Won two starts back over 350m at this track. Last start he finished last on February 27 over 350m at this track behind Mexican Jack beaten 4.5 lengths (20.12) in a T3 RSTW. Draw likely to suit. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (23.12) over 400m at Geelong. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.
