Solid performance to win by a neck at this track over 460m (26.78) beating Pacific Poppy in Grade 5 on April 9. Had been in fine form, hitting the frame three times on end, before a deserved win last time. Can go on with it.

Comments

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2.5 lengths third (26.62) over 460m at this track. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Missed the frame last start when a 11 length seventh (30.78) at Sandown. Previous form sound including a win three back at Bendigo. Has ability but will need everything to go right.
