Six-year-old gelding who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start 8th (Sr2) over 2100m after being wide early at Geelong, beaten 24 m by Schwarz (2:31.70) on October 3 at $9. Not out of this despite the second-row draw. Has trialled well for a new yard and owns a strong record at this distance so is up to this with his best.
