Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 3.5 lengths third (29.76) over 515m at this track. Hasn't been far away. Don't underestimate.

Last start finished 2nd on May 4 over 515m at this track behind Mikado Mania beaten 3.5 lengths (29.98) in a Restricted WIN. Looks a strong winning hope.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (29.89) over 515m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but is among the better hopes.

Good performance to win by 0.9 lengths at this track over 595m (34.84) beating Julea Ruslie in Restricted WIN on April 6. Happy to risk this time.
