Comes here second-up after eight days. Lacklustre first-up performance when 6th (Fr1) over 2240m at this track beaten 30 m by My Ultimate Barney (2:40.90) on October 23 at $101. This looks too tough.

A good draw could see him measure up.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr3) over 2200m after showing early pace at Horsham beaten 55 m by Jilliby Sniper (2:39.30) on October 5 at $21.

May bounce back.
