Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up.

Most recently was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground; won by 0.8 len at Flemington LR Ata/Bob Hoysted March 28 over 1000m in soft going defeating Unflinching with 54kg at $12. The race before that second last of 7 at Caulfield Vgold Sprint on March 14 over 1200m, 5 len behind Jigsaw with 55kg at $19. Big win last time and have to respect again.

Recent form sound. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Flemington in the LR Ata/Bob Hoysted on March 28 over 1000m, slow going 1.2 len behind Corniche carrying 55kg at $3.40. The race before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 at Flemington Vg Comet on February 28 over 1000m, head behind Bridal Waltz with 59kg at $12. Not far away last time. Going well but the end of 1200m will be tough.
