Showed good improvement when second behind Where's Ivy at this track last start over 520m (29.99). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Form has been good with a placing two starts ago and a win three runs back. Last time out finished 3rd over 520m at this track beaten 8 lengths (30.25) behind Eureka Mac in a Grade 5 on February 19. Likely to struggle this time.
