At the start before good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway beaten 4 m by The Greek Freak (2:51.20) on April 2 at $7.50. Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.

Returns to racing after a spell of five months. Well beaten at the end of his last preparation at this course and distance when twelfth at very big odds behind Axel Rose. Might need some time.

Previous preparation first-up posted a big 4 m win (FrU4) at Ascot Park Raceway (2:56.90) beating Garonne in 3yo+ on January 15 at $26.30. Will be hard to beat despite the layoff.
