Resumes from a six months spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing second over 320m at this track. Not keen, needs to lift.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 3.5 lengths third at Richmond Straight but did record a fast 17.68 over the 324m trip. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.
