Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 350m at Healesville. Happy to risk in this.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.67) over 400m at Warragul. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.
