Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 12 at La Teste De Buch on September 24 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Koutsounakos with 58kg at $9. The start before that won by a nose at La Teste De Buch on September 5 over 1100m defeating Dadas Boy with 56.5kg at $4.90. Not a bad effort last time and is open to improvement.

Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Marseille-Borely on September 29 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Bell Song carrying 59kg at $4.10. Before that didn't do much in the run home; 7th of 12 at Lyon-Parilly on September 8 over 1350m, 8 len behind Franciscano carrying 61kg at $5.20. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.

The run before that 6th of 12 at Hyeres on September 19 over 1850m, 12 len behind Oblenskhy carrying 53.5kg at $42.50. Finds a few better today. Can't recommend.

Last start led to the turn then faded 5th of 11 at Lyon-Parilly on September 26 over 1600m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Time To Gali carrying 60kg at $4.20. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at Moulins on August 28 over 1400m, slow going long-neck behind Clemenza carrying 60kg at $4.90. Tempted to look elsewhere on recent form.
