Good performance when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fourth behind Glitter Aint Gold at this track over 1609m on June 6 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Sinaloa at this track over 1609m on June 20 at $9.50. Go well again.

Good run when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Glitter Aint Gold at this track over 1609m on June 6 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Im The Falcon at this track over 2300m on June 13 at $7. Can play a role with even luck.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
