Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Expected to feature on best form.

Won over this track and trip. Last start finished 2nd on May 15 over 380m at this track behind Federal Blast beaten 1.3 lengths (22.03) in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Did a good job two starts back at Ballarat to win by 3.5 lengths in 22.36, beating Mauritian Lucas. Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on May 22 over 380m at this track behind Smooth Blast beaten 12 lengths (22.78). Likely to find this a bit tough.
