Having his second run back from a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr7) over 2600m at Rangiora, beaten 9 m by Son Of Doc (3:30.10) on January 1 at $3.30. Fitter and should play a big role.

Four-year-old gelding by Always B Miki out of Mach N Elle having his first start. Showed ability when second at Rangiora in a trial on December 23 over 2000m. Looks a winning hope despite the draw.
