Last start raced on the pace before fading 11th of 17 at this track on April 18 over 1600m, slow going 4 len behind Super Fly with 57kg at $47.80. Before that 8th of 12 at Pukekohe on April 1 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Play It Again Sam carrying 57kg at $7.10. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.

Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Hawera on April 17 over 1400m, on heavy track; 5.5 len behind Wuruhi carrying 60kg at $3.10.

Last start led to the turn then faded 6th of 15 at this track on April 27 over 1600m, slow going 5 len behind Free Bird carrying 58kg at $50.20. The start before that failed to make an impression; 14th of 16 at this track on April 4 over 1500m, slow going 8 len behind Sweet Smile carrying 57.5kg at $81.50. Unlikely to threaten.

Previously first up; second of 11 at Ruakaka June 28 over 1200m, soft track; 0.8 len behind Chicago Dream carrying 58.5kg at $17.70. Everything points to a effective return.
