Backs up quickly after winning by a nose at this track (22.48) beating Bing Bing Secret in a Grade 5 /MDN on February 8 three days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.

Scored by 1.5 lengths last time (22.58) in a Grade 5 /MDN over 383m at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Makes strong appeal.
