Was disappointing in the Flight Mile two starts back at Victoria before an Allowance win in Tasmania on the dirt last start. Has started three times at this grade and yet to run a place. Looks the likely leader.

Three year still improving. Beat the older horses two starts back at Victoria in the Pgpgs Challenge Grade One over one mile and then was a very good second in the Flight Mile also against the older mares. Has never finished further back then second at nine starts in this distance range. Will be given every chance by Victoria’s top jockey D Evans.

Good Luck to all Runners
