13-year-old gelding showed improvement last time and is backing up after three days. 3rd (Sr2) over 2190m at this track was 7th-11.4m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 3 m by Joe Got Rolled (2:40.40) in No NR on April 1 at $101. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 8 m finishing fifth behind Delightfull Tammy at Gawler over 2550m in a No NR on March 24 at $61. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Last start game effort when 3rd (Sr3) over 2190m at this track was 3rd-4.3m 2WNC at the bell, beaten 3.5 m by Dee Roe (2:46.40) in No NR on April 1 at $3.60. Two runs back was well back before the turn; won by 1.5 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Mt Gambier (2:40.10) beating Crime Writer in No NR on March 15 at $1.90 at the bell was 5th-10.6. Among the leading chances and can overcome the tricky draw.
