Produced a good run, hitting the frame last run (19.41) at Healesville in a Grade 5. Has first look at box 4 this time. Should have the speed for this.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 410m at Horsham. That followed a win two back in 23.24 beating Blanket Game over 410m at Horsham. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
