Hard to fault of late. Last start won by a neck as favourite (Fr4) at Pocono Downs (1:52.00) beating Grand Cayman in NW12000L5 on October 17 at $2. No reason he cannot get the job done again.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Alta Blues at Pocono Downs over 1609m in a NW15500L5 on October 10 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Joemikiyoursofine at Philadelphia over 1609m in a NW15000L5 on October 18 at $4.70. Has the ability to play a major role.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 0.9 m by Apocalypsebluechip (1:53.00) in NW10500L5 on October 17 at $3.70. Before that beaten 15 metres, fifth at Pocono Downs over 1609m NW15500L5 on October 10. Even the minor placings look out of reach.
