Form only moderate and has been without a win now for 14 runs. Last start finished fifth over 2000m at Addington. This looks tough.

Missed the placings again last start, beaten 35 metres when ninth over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway. Cannot enthuse.

Broke through for his maiden success over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway last time out. Confidence high and can measure up again.

Was safely held last time out in sixth over 1980m at Addington, beaten 16 metres. This looks a far sterner task.

Has frustrated connections of late with a string of minor prizes to his name, most recently when third, beaten 1.1 metres, over 1700m at Ashburton Raceway. Can play a role in the finish.
