Has never been out of the money in three starts this course. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Ready to find winning form.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (23.44) at this track over 400m. Good beginner who will take catching with any luck from on outside draw.
