Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 425m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Ran a better race when second behind Ethanol Vision at this track last start over 425m (24.72). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.75 lengths second (24.74) over 425m at this track. Leading chance who should prove hard to beat.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 2.75 lengths at this track over 425m (24.55) beating Call It Fate in Bottom Up - Grade 5 on September 9. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
