Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when third (17.05) over 300m at Healesville. Has a wide draw to navigate but in the mix on his best form.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when seventh (19.89) at Healesville. Drawn out wide and prefer each-way.
