Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.85 over 400m at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time despite being beaten. Follow up.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 388m at Gosford. Other runners look much more appealing.
