Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.5 m fifth behind Spirit King at this track over 1609m NR up to 65 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres second again at this track over 2030m in NR up to 63 on April 17. Should get his chance from the inside draw.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Lochinvar Marcello at this track over 1609m in a 3yo NR up to 60 on April 17 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.1 m finishing second behind Pet Kitty at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 60 on April 24 at $4.40. Draws for another good showing.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 10th (Fr4) over 2570m at Canberra, beaten 45 m by Messerati (3:13.60) in NR up to 80 on April 19 at $6.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Princess Mickayla at this track over 2030m in a NR up to 63 on April 17 at $5. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Spirit King at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 65 on April 24 at $10. In fine form. Going well so respect.
