Could only manage sixth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.

Finished in the money latest and looks close to a win. Solid run last time when third (29.06) at this track over 480m. Likely to be much improved on the experience. Leading contender.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th over 480m at this track beaten 4 lengths (29.21) behind Diddly Squat in an A3 on January 9. Around the mark two starts back. Winning chance on that form.
