Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (24.35) at this track over 407m. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Missed the frame latest (24.51) when seventh over 407m at this track in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks one of the chances.
