Quickly away at this track two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at Warrnambool last start over 450m. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Did a good job two starts back at Warrnambool to win by 1.2 lengths in 25.62, beating Dashing Donna. Last start finished 4th in a Mix 6/7 FIN on December 3 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Whodat Jewel beaten 2 lengths (25.52). Others have better credentials.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
