Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind I Am Hellbound at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 68 on March 17 at $17. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Alpha Stride at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 72 on March 31 at $5.50. Up in grade but has a nice draw so can feature.

First up. At the last run he good run when 3rd (10m Fr3) over 2300m at this track was 7th-20m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 3.5 m by Pesco Pollo (2:51.50) in No NR on December 6 at $23. Trialling well so could make a good return.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Keayang Zahara at this track over 1609m in a G1 No NR on March 14 at $151. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Gotfeelingsyouknow at this track over 2300m in a No NR on April 11 at $16. Could be ready to return to winning form.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
