At debut, 4th of 11 at Matamata on June 15 over 1200m, in the wet; 5.5 len behind Out Of Sight carrying 58.5kg at $8.80. Better gate today. A 4kg claim here helps.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when 8th of 11 at Te Aroha on February 12 over 1150m, 4.5 len behind Jade Dragon with 55.5kg at $23.10. Stronger for a spell. In the mix.

Resuming sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Cambridge Synthetic on May 21 over 1300m, 7 len behind Shiatsu with 56.5kg at $3.60.

Was well in the market at debut, 6th of 11 at Matamata on June 15 over 1200m, on heavy track; 8 len behind Out Of Sight carrying 56.5kg at $4.80. Will take a lot from that run and is open to improvement. Trial winner prior. Not out of this at all.

Dual acceptor. On debut. Four-year-old mare by Telperion out of Fru Ju. Three times trialled for one fourth. Dam has left two winning foals with Bully Boy (8 wins) the most prolific. Not the worst.
