Recent form impressive for this race. Comes off a 46 day let-up. Last run finished second in a small field at Exeter on March 23 over 4620m, 4.5 len behind Coconut Twist carrying 74.5kg at $2.20. Race before finished second of 9 starters at Southwell on March 17 over 4860m, 4 len behind Lizzie Rey with 75kg at $4. Capable of better showing. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.
