Comments

Missed the frame last time but prior to that was in the money twice in a row including a narrow loss two back when second (25.95) over 460m at Warragul. Has a fair record off the rails draw but will need a little luck to feature.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 1.3 lengths third over 350m this track in 18.95. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 2.75 lengths at this track (19.18) beating Zelda Braga in a Grade 5 on March 15. Not far from winner last time but has the job ahead here.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th over 350m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (19.25) behind Michigan in a Free For All on March 22. Placed two back at this track. Has run hot time here with a 18.76 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (19.30) over 350m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and looks a each way chance only this field.
