Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track was 3rd-4.96 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Itzfergietime (1:56.70) on September 22 at $10. Before that beaten 19 metres, seventh at this track over 2300m on September 19. Not likely to threaten this time.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
