Back in form at the last couple of outings, two starts back won by 4 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at Bathurst (2:02.10) beating Tenminutes in NR up to 67 on March 4 at $2.50 at the bell was leading 3.68. Last start just missed, solid effort when 2nd (Fr7) over 1730m after showing early speed at Bathurst, beaten a head by Allstarzzz Frankie (2:03.90) in 4yo+ NR up to 80 GH on March 25 at $2.50. Should get his chance from the inside draw.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after showing early speed, behind Missaudacious at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a NR up to 90 on March 6 at $61. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Double Fear at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 75 on March 24 at $5.50. A big run would not surprise.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr3) over 1609m at Menangle beaten 6 m by Coastal Drive (1:54.30) in 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on March 27 at $77. Showed ability the race before when he ran on from midfield and posted a big 10 m win (Sr1) at this track (2:00.50) beating Rick Reilly in NR up to 90 on March 12 at $3.30 at the bell was 2nd-4.71. Better placed so can bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into tenth behind Captain Bellasario at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 105 on March 21 at $151. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind The Metal Flyer at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 90 on March 26 at $2.25. Can win with even luck.
