Was out of placings last time (30.40) at Wentworth Park in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Suited here and expected to run well.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fourth (24.66) at Sale last start. Aided by a low draw but prefer each-way.

Comments

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 1.75 lengths fourth (35.04) over 600m at The Meadows. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
