Racing well recently. At the latest run 2nd of 7 at this track on December 31 over 1609m, 6 len behind Combat Mission with 54kg at $2.70. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 at this track on November 23 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind Treadstone carrying 54kg at $3.49. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game.
