Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 595m in 34.69 last start, beating Apilla. Likes the rails so recorded one of the quickest times on the card last time. Worth following up.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 300m at Murray Bridge Straight. That followed a win two back in 16.93 beating Currency Lad over 300m at Murray Bridge Straight. Difficult assignment ahead.
