Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Casino over 300m in 16.82 last start, beating Star Vega. Likes the rails so has a solid record from this draw, including five wins. Expected to go well.

Finished sixth (17.71) last start at Casino. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Has a decent strike-rate off the draw but appears tested on latest effort.

Comments

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 350m at this track in a handy 19.90 beating Kingsbrae Brett. Looks well placed and should be tough to beat.

Strong performance to score by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Q Straight, clocking an excellent 18.83 for the 350m trip. Harder here but warrants respect on latest.
