Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing eighth (25.54) at Sale before going for a three-and-a-half months spell. Has had two fresh up runs and has recorded the one placing. Looks a key chance here fresh.

Latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on May 12 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Fancy Kiaarn beaten 7 lengths (22.89). Has performed below expectations at his last couple but is capable of far better.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a eighth over 400m at this track. Hard to envisage a win.
