Before that second last of 11 at Trentham on March 1 over 2100m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Sunset Boulevard with 55kg at $20.30. Needs to take another step to compete against these.

Most recently couldn't go on with it; 5th of 7 at Te Aroha on March 28 over 1600m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Pacifico carrying 50kg at $19. The start before that 11th of 18 at this track in the G2 Auckland Cup on March 7 over 3200m, 13 len behind Paradise Storm carrying 53kg at $127. Not going well enough.

The start before that got back early 4th of 8 at Matamata on March 11 over 2000m, slow going 1.5 len behind Giacomo carrying 55.5kg at $3. Can improve again. Winning chance.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 9 len at Tauranga March 14 over 2100m in heavy going defeating Perfectmanz with 57.5kg at $4.20. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len at this track February 21 over 2100m in soft going defeating Jurisprudence carrying 59.5kg at $10.70. Going well and is one of the leading chances.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 8 at Tauranga on March 14 over 2100m, on heavy track; 10 len behind High Country with 59kg at $3.40.
