Charged out of the boxes with a fast early split and led for much of the way before being grabbed late, finishing a 3 length second at Wentworth Park over 520m in 29.83. Yet to be beaten in two starts out of this box. Must be respected.

Strong performance to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 622m (35.89) beating It's All Bad in Grade 5 on January 23. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Missed the frame last start when a 7 length sixth (30.18) at Wentworth Park. Previous form sound including a win three back at Wentworth Park. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Rocketed out of the boxes with a sizzling early split and led throughout to score when a 6 length winner (29.24) at Wentworth Park. Top chance to chalk-up the hat-trick.
