Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 6th (Fr4) over 3000m at Oamaru, beaten 18 m by The Big Lebowski (3:55.70) on February 1 at $7.10. The run prior 6th (Fr4) over 2850m at Waterlea Raceway beaten 9 m by Smoke On The Water (3:50.70) on January 18 at $8.90. Worth another chance. Deserves another chance.
