Strong performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by a half a length in a NG last start at Richmond Straight, recording an enormous 17.51 over the 324m journey. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 1.3 lengths second (18.93) over 350m at this track. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.
