Below best last start when he finished 5th over 480m at Newcastle beaten 5 lengths (29.25) behind Zenith Mikmacker in a OR on March 26. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Good effort to score last start by 5 lengths over 435m at Star Pelaw in 25.95, beating Leathems Bluey. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.5 lengths over 290m at Newcastle in a handy 16.68, beating Bower Sheeran. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Good performance after taking an early lead to score in an A1 by head at this track over 450m (27.78). Had found the frame four times on end before a deserved win most recently. Can measure up again.
