Drew awkwardly last time and was safely held when tenth over 2400m at Central Southland Raceway, beaten 85 metres. Has the inside so can make amends.

Safely held last time at the first run of the campaign when 35 metres from the winner in ninth over 2000m at Addington. Won't find this easy. Not keen.
