Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 23 m by Rooster Bennett (1:52.00) in NW5000CD on May 12 at $8.80. The start before 6th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Negotiator (1:53.10) in NW7500CD on May 5 at $8.40. Worth another chance.
