Was at very long odds at debut, 5th of 9 at this track on May 24 over 1200m, 10 len behind Aquae Calidae with 60kg at $101. Encouraging signs on debut but this looks a tough assignment.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, ran second last of 7 at this track in G3 on May 3 over 1100m, slow going 9 len behind Tag And Release carrying 60kg at $41. Last start 3rd of 7 at this track on June 2 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Witch Hazel with 57kg at $11. In stakes class on debut then improved with a placing latest. Capable of a strong showing.
