Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at this track on February 1 over 1006m, 1.3 len behind Take Action carrying 55kg at $4.90. Before that second last of 7 at this track on January 16 over 1308m, 6 len behind My Good Good Boy with 55.5kg at $9.10. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.
