Rocketed home when winning last time at this venue and drawn nicely. Has a nice turn of foot. Getting better in recent performances. Definite claims for punters.

Odds of $36.00 and didn't find the line when 9th last run at this track but up against a less competitive field. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Can run into the placings.
