At the latest run 4th in a small field at Wolverhampton on February 17 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Blinky with 49.5kg at $6. The run before that 3rd of 7 at Southwell All Weather on January 23 over 1000m, 2 len behind Star Chorus with 55kg at $8. Not a great draw again but represents a major threat.
