Jumped at $6.00 and ran 4th last start at Gunnedah. Happy to forgive that run and will be well suited at the trip. Going well this preparation. Should give this a shake.

Nice effort when winning last run at the track and ideal trip as proven previously. Maintaining a perfect record the last 3 starts. Always seems to find the line well. Good tough competitor that can be supported.

Did well to finish 3rd last run around here in 23.16s over 401m and form has been improving over recent runs. Should be going forward early. Solid claims.
