Second-up here following a spell. Game effort when 2nd (Fr10) over 2600m at this track beaten 0.8 m by Request (3:29.20) in 3yo+ on July 13 at $49.60. Should prove very tough to beat.

Began his campaign last start running 14th (FrU3) over 2000m at this track well beaten by Birdy (2:37.10) in 3yo+ on July 20 at $39.10. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
