Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Other runners look much more appealing.

Latest effort finished last over 480m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (29.78) behind Feed Me Spegheti in an A5 on March 7. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.
