Returned to racing last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 2400m at Mt Harding, beaten 2.25 m by Bluey (3:17.40) on January 26 at $17.30. Should prove very tough to beat.

Two back was third behind Zsazsa Binx at Waterlea over 2400m on January 19 at $8.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Bluey at Mt Harding over 2400m on January 26 at $7.10. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr3) over 2400m at Mt Harding, beaten 65 m by Bluey (3:17.40) on January 26 at $14.90. Showed ability the race before when he won by 3.5 m (Fr12) at Motukarara (2:56.90) beating Tessamae in 2yo+ on December 29 at $6.60. It will pay to forgive the latest effort.

Didn't do much last start, 11th (Fr10) over 2400m at Waterlea well beaten by Zsazsa Binx (3:15.00) on January 19 at $47. Before that 7th (Fr4) over 2400m at Waterlea, beaten 20 m by Almighty (3:17.30) on January 17 at $29.90. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Last start 9th (FrU3) over 2600m at Addington beaten 30 m by One El (3:21.40) on January 31 at $24.20. The run prior 10th (FrU1) over 2400m at Mt Harding beaten by Bluey (3:17.40) on January 26 at $5.70. Worth another chance. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.
