Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Nicely drawn on the inside but looks a each way chance only this field.

Has finished fourth at his last three starts, most recently over 300m at this track. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on his best form.

Fast starter. Last start finished 4th over 400m at Gawler beaten 7 lengths (23.24) behind Long Gully Shack in a Grade 5 on March 26. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 300m at this track in a handy (17.25), beating Go Jet Go. Will find this a bit tougher, this looks too tough.
