At the latest run won by a nose at this track May 9 over 1300m defeating Meisho Yonku carrying 57kg at $134.70. The race before that 7th of 9 at this track on April 25 over 1600m, 8 len behind Meiner Faucon carrying 57kg at $72. Might just find this lot a bit smart.

At the latest run led but faded 2nd of 12 at this track on May 10 over 1400m, 2 len behind Skylight carrying 56kg at $8.90. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 11 at this track on April 11 over 1400m, 3 len behind Enough Said with 56kg at $3. Well drawn and looks a genuine hope.
