Racing well recently. At the latest run 2nd of 12 at Vaal on January 29 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Vibe Sa carrying 59.5kg at $3.50. The start before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at this track on December 27 over 1000m, 2 len behind Plus Four with 53.5kg at $7. Worth following up.

The start before that 2nd of 8 at Vaal on December 18 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Fully Loaded carrying 58.5kg at $2.40. Goes very well course and distance, leading throughout the last time here.

At the latest run 4th of 13 at this track on February 14 over 1160m, 1.5 len behind Captain Selvie carrying 59kg at $15. The start before that 4th of 16 at Vaal on January 24 over 1200m, 1.2 len behind Hathighwaytothesky with 59kg at $26. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.
