Positioned fifth and came with a well timed run but found one better at Caulfield. Under extreme pressure to keep pace with the front-runners at Flemington. Has won first-up and placed twice at the track. Class drop assists.

No match for rivals and never progressed into the race from midfield 11.5L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Hcp over 1400m Soft 7. One-paced to the line and always well back 11.8L at Caulfield Bm78 over 1700m Soft 7. Like chances back to this level.
