Most recently favourite; won by 1.0 len at this track September 17 over 1000m in soft going defeating Alligator Alley with 63.5kg at $3.30. Before that eased back early on 6th of 9 at this track in the LR Beverley Bullet Sprint Stakes on August 30 over 1000m, 5 len behind Shagraan with 56.5kg at $101. Looks tested and others rate better.
