Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (19.71) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length eighth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from six starts. Suited here and expected to run well.

Did a good job two starts back at Shepparton to win by a neck in 22.60, beating Ivory Mihara. Last start finished last in a Free For All on May 7 over 390m at this track behind Sweet Love beaten 7 lengths (22.64). Racing well and has to be included.
