First up last campaign fifth of 11 at Wangaratta Hcp February 28 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind New York Hurricane with 56.5kg at $7. Prefer to see how he returns.

Second run back. First-up after four months led but faded 3rd of 11 in the G2 PB Lawrence Stakes at Caulfield on August 15 over 1400m, slow going 1.5 len behind Cosmic Crusader with 59kg at $5. Previously second-up 2nd of 9 in a G1 The All-Star Mile at Flemington on March 7 over 1600m, long-neck behind Tom Kitten with 59kg at $12. Good fresh and this is a level easier, rates clear.

Previous preparation first-up won by 0.5 len Randwick G3 Jra Plate April 18 over 2000m defeating You Wahng with 59kg at $16. Handy but imagine others sharper.
