At the latest run 4th of 10 at this track on February 20 over 1400m, slow going 1.3 len behind Contemplation Bay carrying 58.5kg at $5.60. The start before that got back early 9th of 15 at Wingatui in the LR Hazlett Stakes on February 7 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Witz End carrying 54.5kg at $34.10. Not far away last start. In the mix.

Second run back. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after six months second last of 8 at Riccarton Park on February 4 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Insatiable with 57.5kg at $10.10. Previously second-up won by a nose at Riccarton Park Synthetic August 6 over 1200m defeating Tumuch with 52kg at $6.20. Will take a lot from that run and looks tough to beat.

Most recently raced on the pace before fading 11th of 13 at Wingatui on February 28 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Trobriand with 58.5kg at $5.70. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.2 len at Riccarton Park February 4 over 1100m on a rain affected track defeating Spartan carrying 54.5kg at $2. Too good to dismiss and deserves another chance.

Second-up today. Last run 4th of 9 at Ascot Park on February 14 over 1200m, slow going 0.2 len behind Tikki carrying 54.5kg at $2.70. At only start last preparation won by a head at Ascot Park December 13 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Henry Hubber carrying 54kg at $3.90.
