Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a half a length win at this track over 515m in 29.78. The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won comfortably by 5 lengths at The Meadows (30.40) beating Paw Lester in a Maiden on February 18. Other runners look much more appealing.

Nearing another win after claiming his maiden success on February 10 at Ballarat over 450m. Last start was second over 450m in 25.29, behind Honey Stirrer. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
