Last start finished 4th over 318m at this track beaten 3 lengths (19.14) behind Not Like Us in a Class 1 on March 2. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Well supported here last start but couldn't repay punters, finishing finished 6th on March 2 over 318m at this track behind Go Amber beaten 15 lengths (19.84) in a Class 1. Placed two back at Cambridge Raceway. Strongly fancied last start but safely held. Deserves another chance.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (19.12) over 318m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Looks to have the job ahead.

Last start finished fourth on February 23 over 318m at this track behind Big Time Lockey, beaten 5 lengths (19.22) in a SPECA. The form from the last run stacks up nicely. Worth following up.
