Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Sandown over 595m in 33.98. Followed that up with a minor placing over 595m at Sandown at Free For All nine days ago. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 4 length fourth (34.23) over 595m at Sandown. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
