Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (22.37) over 390m at Shepparton. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by a nose at Traralgon over 425m (24.40) beating Bear Hand in Grade 5 on June 26. Was strong in the market last start won accordingly. Worth following.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (25.36) at Ballarat over 450m. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 2 length third at Ballarat but did record a solid 22.22 over the 390m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Placed last time (23.65) at Horsham in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 1.4 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Makes strong appeal.
