Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 710m. Last start finished 6th over 600m at this track beaten 6 lengths (35.21) behind Canya Nuclear in a Grade 4/5 on February 19. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (41.83) at this track over 710m. Close to the speed and boxed on well at his latest run. In the mix again.
