Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 29-day let-up. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at this track on June 16 over 920m, 3.5 len behind Istros carrying 55kg at $3.30. Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at this track on June 2 over 920m, 0.5 len behind Eiger with 55kg at $21.60. Among the winning chances.
