Recent form sound. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.5 len at Lyon-Parilly May 8 over 2000m on a soft track defeating Morsan carrying 53kg at $3.80. The run before that 3rd of 9 at Fontainebleau on April 11 over 2200m, 4 len behind Rio with 55.5kg at $5. Back in form and looks one of the chances.
