Settled just off the pace and couldn't match it with the winner at Southside Pakenham. Sat outside the pace and shot clear over the final stages to win at Southside Cranbourne. Looks ideally placed here to make it back-to-back wins.

Settled midfield and tried gallantly to make ground 1L at Bendigo. Ridden behind the leaders and strolled home for a soft win 1L at Ballarat. Gets the blinkers on for the first time after a strong win last start.

Positioned behind the front-runners and fought off challengers to win at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside. Showed pace to sit with the leaders, fought hard but tired quickly at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside. Could fly first-up.
