Solid performance to post a big 5 lengths win at this track over 515m (29.38) beating Sail Away Sam in Grade 5 on February 6. That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with him.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 515m at this track in a handy (29.58), beating Ritza Kris. Will find this a bit tougher, not up to this.

Was out of placings last time (30.29) at Wentworth Park in a NG, finishing fifth and beaten 13 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks well placed and should feature.

Strong performance after tracking the speed to win by 0.8 lengths at this track over 515m (29.76) beating Hey Mickey in Mix 1/2/3 on January 31. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
