Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 7th in a Grade 5 on July 20 over 300m at Casino behind Martinique beaten 8 lengths (17.69). Others hold stronger claims.

Dropping back in distance from his last start when fifth over 450m at this track. Has a poor record at this trip. Looks tested in this company.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won comfortably by 7 lengths at Casino (17.01) beating Lloyd's Pick in a Maiden on July 30. Needs to find a bit more.
