Resuming from a spell. Coming along nicely at home including a placing in his most recent trial at Avondale. Opened last campaign with a fourth at Te Aroha over 1150m. Will improve on whatever he does in this.

Has been thereabouts at both runs this prep. Decent effort last start to finish 1.4 lengths away in fourth over 1215m at Arawa Park seven weeks ago. Ready to peak at the third run in. Big chance.

Easily beaten at her last run before spelling and didn't fare any better when resuming over 1150m at Te Aroha three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 6 lengths into sixth. Unlikely to be competitive.
