Before that won by 0.7 len at Oamaru on July 19 over 1200m in the wet defeating Undisputed carrying 55.5kg at $8.80. Rates highly on best form and is certainly in the mix.

Resuming after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign second of 8 at Oamaru June 14 over 1200m, soft track; 0.9 len behind Express Coup with 57kg at $10.80. When resuming last campaign fourth of 9 at Ascot Park December 13 over 1200m, soft track; 2.75 len behind Miss Miranda carrying 57kg at $14. Not keen on his chances.

When resuming last campaign second of 7 at this track January 17 over 1200m, soft track; a head behind Radiant Lass carrying 59.5kg at $3.40. Yet to miss the top three when fresh from a spell and is among the better chances.
