Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at Plainridge Park, beaten 9 m by So Rock N' Roll (1:48.20) in NW12500CD on August 3 at $3.20. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 3 m as favourite (Fr2) at Plainridge Park (1:50.20) beating Confederatestar in TRK<89 on July 27 at $2.30. Sure to be about the money.

At the previous start 5th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 24 m by Laser Speed (1:53.00) in NW15000L5 on June 23 at $3.13. Expecting a spike in form this time.
