Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 2.25 lengths (26.21) over 460m at Warragul. Makes appeal on the back of that latest win.

Hasn't threatened at his last couple but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
