Most recently 6th of 10 at Saratoga on August 27 over 1308m, 12 len behind Covered Option with 56kg at $4.74. The run before that ran last of 8 at Saratoga on July 25 over 1207m, 25 len behind Grand Yaupon carrying 56kg at $7.59. Low draw but others have better credentials.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
