Was out of placings last time (25.86) at this track in a Rank Limit - Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from six starts. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 0.6 lengths fourth (19.52) over 350m at Healesville. Has ability and worth including.
