Came from wide draw and finished 4th on May 29 over 390m at Shepparton behind Hartland Duke beaten 4.5 lengths (22.70) in a Grade 5. Capable of a good showing.

Solid performance to win by one length at Shepparton over 450m (25.78) beating Audition in Grade 5 on May 15. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 425m at this track. That followed a win two back in 24.70 beating Hartland Duke over 425m at this track. Can't recommend against this lot.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (24.75) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3 length fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks one of the chances.
