Did a good job two starts back at The Meadows to win by 2 lengths in 34.51, beating Cuthbert Binns. Last start finished 4th on March 26 over 595m at this track behind Gambella beaten 9 lengths (34.57) in a Grade 4/5. Is a danger.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 2.25 lengths second over 515m this track in 29.52. Should be around the mark.
