Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd on July 17 over 425m at this track behind Paw Kristelle beaten 4 lengths (24.35) in a Grade 5. Happy enough to avoid.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Temora over 330m. Last start finished 3rd over 400m at Geelong beaten 5 lengths (22.78) behind Prancing Pat in a Grade 4/5 on July 10. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (19.69) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Has one win and two placings from five starts from the draw. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Won two starts back at Healesville over 350m in 19.48. Followed that up with a minor placing over 350m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Not suited by wide draw, hard to entertain this time.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a one length third over 350m at this track, clocking 20.11. Rates among the chances this time.
