At $7.00 finished 4th last time here but matched against less formidable competition. Will be positive in the run early. Gets a favourable alley. Prefer in something a lot easier.

Backing up quickly for this race. Started at $5.33 and faded to finish 4th last start at this track. Expected to rebound but up in class. Strong claims in this.
