Was out of placings last time (20.02) at this track in a Restricted WIN, finishing fourth and beaten 3 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Hit the frame again last time when third (19.92) at this track, making it four minor placings in a row. Tricky draw to overcome. Has to do a bit more.
