Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up second last of 8 at Meydan in G2 on December 20 over 1800m, 20 len behind Measured Time carrying 57kg at $41. Second run from a spell 10th of 16 at Meydan on January 10 over 1800m, 9 len behind First Conquest carrying 56kg at $101. Needs to improve.

At only start last preparation second last of 7 at Southwell All Weather on September 3 over 1609m, 4.5 len behind The Ice Phoenix carrying 59.5kg at $9. Should progress from that first-up run.

Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at Haydock Park on May 7 2022 over 1643m, slow going 1.75 len behind Aldhaja carrying 57.5kg at $2. Worth another chance.

Second-up. First-up after four years 11th of 14 at Abu Dhabi on January 25 over 1200m, 11 len behind Tawalla with 57.5kg. Previously second-up favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Jebel Ali Sand January 8 2021 over 1200m defeating Meshakel carrying 58kg at $3. Fitter but must improve sharply.

Gelding back from a spell of 23 months. Has placed previously first up from a break. Finished off last preparation by neck Jebel Ali Sand March 11 2023 over 1950m defeating Attribution with 60.5kg at $7.50. When resuming last campaign second last of 9 at Jebel Ali Sand November 19 2022 over 1400m, 13 len behind Fanaar carrying 57.5kg at $21. Can return in winning form.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. Last start second last in a small field at this track on December 7 over 1600m, 9 len behind Musical Dancer carrying 57.5kg at $12. The run before that won by 1.5 len at this track November 16 over 1600m defeating Kibo Misaki carrying 58kg at $19. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 5th of 11 at this track on January 6 over 1950m, 8 len behind Dubai Welcome with 57.5kg at $7. Last start 6th of 13 at Meydan on January 17 over 1900m, 3 len behind Delorean with 57kg at $13. Forward showing expected.
