Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr5) over 1980m at Addington beaten 10 m by Stumblin In (2:25.30) in 3yo+ on April 17 at $1.40. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 25 m as favourite (Fr4) at Wyndham Raceway (2:58.30) beating Shiver In The Dark in 3yo+ on March 29 at $1.80. Sure to be there at the business end.

1-12 Ascot Park Raceway 23Apr26 2200MS $12,000 NON-WINNERS 3U Kirstin Green $3, won by 2nd La Familia , 2:02.8 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Paced roughly shortly after the start and was then placed in restricted room by an outside runner and broke in consequence, hampering trailing runners losing ground.

Last start posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Fr1) at Ascot Park Raceway (2:47.90) beating La Familia in 3yo+ on April 23 at $2.80. Can play a role in the finish again.

At the start before solid effort when 2nd (Sr2) over 1700m at Ascot Park Raceway beaten 1.4 m by Searing Light (2:06.20) in 5yo+ on April 23 at $2.30. A big run would not surprise.
