Racing well recently. Last start 3rd in a small field at this track on September 15 over 1207m, 3 len behind A La Carte carrying 56kg at $3.80. The run before that eased back early on ran second last in a small field at this track on August 31 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Bongino carrying 56kg at $1.55. Small field and looks one of the chances.
