Improved last start with a good run when 3rd (Sr2) over 2600m at Addington, beaten 11 m by Ukraine (3:14.30) in 4yo+ on April 4. One of the key runners.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 5 m third behind Rena at Mt Harding over 2300m 4yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 5 metres sixth at this track over 2000m in 3yo+ on April 6. One of the primary contenders.

Last start won by 1.4 m (Fr8) at Addington (2:27.40) beating Monkee Major in on April 8 at $8.10. Tricky draw but among the main hopes again.

2-12 Addington 17Apr26 1980MS $17,000 R41 TO R46 3U Matthew Williamson $8, btn 23.5m, wnr Prosperity , 1:56.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved last start with a good run when 2nd (Fr6) over 1980m at Addington beaten 23 m by Prosperity (2:23.30) in 3yo+ on April 17 at $8.10. Can continue the good form and take this out.
