Missed the frame latest (20.03) when fifth over 350m at Healesville in a Grade 5. Has four successes and nine minors from 20 starts from box 2. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior went down fighting when second (22.59) over 390m at this track. Aided by a low draw and is among the better hopes.
