Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.11), beating Super Freaky. Will find this a bit tougher, needs to find a bit more.

Flew the lids with a fast early split and went on to clock 30.09 when a 0.6 lengths winner over 525m at The Meadows. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 29.16. Top chance.

Backs up after winning by 2.5 lengths at The Meadows (29.75) beating He's A Pearl in a Mix 3/4 on November 7 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.
