Last start finished 4th in an A3 on April 10 over 500m at this track behind Slippy Patsy beaten 0.9 lengths (29.74). Yet to win but has been in the money five times from 10 starts off this draw. Right in the mix.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish second over 500m at this track. May find this a bit too tough.

Got back early in the race last start when fourth over 500m at this track. Before that won by one length at this track (29.76) beating She Can Dance in an A5 on April 3. Needs to find a bit more.
