Has been around the mark earlier but recent Saratoga runs have tailed off. Last start 6th of 8 at Saratoga Harness over 1609m on 5 May, beaten 13.75L in class 63 after settling midfield. Prior efforts were 7th of 7 and 8th of 8 there over this trip. Former Shenandoah winner over 1609m; needs to lift but can improve with a smoother run.
