Didn't make the placings last time at Healesville (20.10) in a Special conditions Veteran race, finishing a 9 length eighth. Has three successes and seven minors from 17 starts from box 6. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Did a good job two starts back at Geelong to win by 1.75 lengths in 26.22, beating Aussie Bronze. Last start finished 4th over 435m at Sale beaten 3.5 lengths (24.96) behind Our Lulu in a Grade 5 on May 5. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
