Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Republican Party at Alexandra Park over 3200m in Auckland Cup last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres fourth again at Alexandra Park over 2700m in on December 12. If he performs up to the latest effort he'll be hard to stop.

Last start was sixth behind Republican Party at Alexandra Park over 3200m in Auckland Cup on December 31 at $4.70. Performed better the start before where he won by 1.5 m as favourite (20m 1) at Alexandra Park (3:24.70) beating Little Spike in on December 12 at $1.80 at the bell was leading 4m on the pegs. Has a fine record here and the shorter distance suits better so can return to his best.
