Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 10th (Fr7) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 17 m by Passchendaele (2:56.20) in 4yo+ on April 17 at $24.10. The start before 5th (Fr1) over 2200m at this track beaten 20 m by Double Jeopardy (2:42.20) in 3yo+ on April 3 at $16.80. Last couple short of his best but in the mix if on-song.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Sr1) over 2600m at Addington, beaten 8 m by Deceptive Lee (3:13.30) in 4yo+ on April 19 at $12.70. The run prior 6th (Fr5) over 2300m at Mt Harding, beaten 13 m by Tact Teena (2:54.10) in 4yo+ on April 13 at $13. Great chance to bounce back.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Fr6) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway beaten 6 m by Major Torque (2:55.60) in 4yo+ on April 17 at $9.80. Showed ability the run before when he won by a 0.5 m (Fr5) at Central Southland Raceway (2:59.60) beating Mr President in 3yo+ on April 10 at $6.40. Each way value.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Magnetic Beckers at Central Southland Raceway over 2400m in a 3yo+ on April 10 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Passchendaele at Central Southland Raceway over 2400m in a 4yo+ on April 17 at $9.70. Rates highly. Expected to play a major role.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start 7th (Fr5) over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 9 m by Major Torque (2:55.60) in 4yo+ on April 17 at $14.40. At the run before 11th (Fr6) over 1980m at Addington beaten 30 m by Francent (2:22.90) in 4yo+ M on April 11 at $10.40. Good signs last start and this looks a suitable contest.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Bismarck Du Plessis at Central Southland Raceway over 2400m on April 10 at $12.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Major Torque at Central Southland Raceway over 2400m in a 4yo+ on April 17 at $56.50. Nice effort last time. Forward performance expected.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
