Won two starts back when well in the market at Bulli over 340m. Last start finished 5th over 340m at Bulli beaten 10 lengths (20.01) behind Taylor Made Blue in a Grade 5 on September 9. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 340m at Bulli. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
