In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 5th over 480m at this track beaten 11 lengths (30.27) behind Comer Storm in an A6 on January 22. Had been in strong form, hitting the frame two times on end, before the latest effort.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th in an A7 on January 22 over 480m at this track behind Copperhead Road beaten 1.4 lengths (30.00). Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
