Turned in a strong run first-up to score by 3.5 metres over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Will be better for that run and is a top winning chance again.

Improved to finish second over 2000m at Addington most recently on the back of a well-beaten sixth at Addington the run prior. Can retain the good form.
