Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (35.25) over 600m at this track. Draws an inside box and capable of a better result.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 350m at Healesville. Not keen this time.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fifth over 350m Healesville in 19.42. Should be right in the finish.
