Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage eighth last time out over 388m at Gosford. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Latest effort finished 7th on April 30 over 388m at Gosford behind Real Express beaten 8 lengths (22.94) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3 length fourth (23.33) over 400m at this track. Has claims if at his best.
