Second-up raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 13 at Woodville on April 29 over 2200m, slow going 2.25 len behind Lord Spencer carrying 66kg at $6.20. Likely improver who should feature.

Previously second-up won by 1.3 len at Omoto January 5 2025 over 1500m on a soft track defeating Spinayarn carrying 58.5kg at $3.20. Will come on from that run and should be right in the mix.
