Racing well recently. At the latest run won by a head at this track January 24 over 1800m defeating Pioneer Square with 55.5kg at $13.50. Before that 4th of 8 at Turffontein Standside on December 16 over 1400m, 4 len behind One Eye On Vegas carrying 60kg at $17. Too tough last time here over 1800m and looks suited out further in journey. This no harder and can get the job done again.

Two back 5th of 7 at Turffontein Standside on January 1 over 1600m, 3 len behind Grand Empire with 54.5kg at $7. Has since finished sixth over a mile there over the weekend and on the quick back-up. Extra trip a plus. Sure to be about the money.

Comes off a 33 day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at this track on January 8 over 1800m, 10 len behind Gerbera with 59kg at $11. The race before that 7th of 10 at this track on December 11 over 1800m, 4 len behind Hawkbill carrying 59kg at $6. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time. Extra trip suits.

Before that 6th of 9 at this track on January 8 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Littlemissmillion carrying 56.5kg at $5.50. Kept coming last time after giving away a big start. Goes well here and extra trip a plus. Definite danger.
