Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 2 lengths at this track (23.16) beating Teapot Scandal in a Grade 5 on February 21. Well placed and among the chances here.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (15.82) over 272m at this track. Awkwardly drawn and looks safely held.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 3.5 lengths third over 400m at this track, clocking 23.25. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (23.29) at this track over 400m. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
