Finished in the placings last time but the run prior he was a strong winner after racing just off the speed, scoring by 1.3 lengths in a Class 5 H at Manukau and clocking a hot 18.36 for the 318m trip. Rates on top and can find winning form again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 7 lengths in 17.13, beating Curly Junior. Last start finished 6th on January 29 over 295m at this track behind Ripslinger Rory beaten 6 lengths (17.16) in a Class 5. Likely to find this too tough.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield

Last Starts days since last start
