At the latest run 5th of 12 at Wingatui on October 2 over 1200m, on a wet track; 5 len behind Ocean Boulevard with 55.5kg at $31.70. The start before that 2nd of 10 at Phar Lap Racecourse on September 6 over 1200m, slow going 0.8 len behind Explode carrying 54.5kg at $10.10. Finds a suitable race and looks one of the key runners.
