Has been around midfield lately; last start 5th at Churchill Downs over 1408m on 10 May, beaten 9.8L with 56.5kg after settling back. Prior run 6th of 8 here over 1207m on 26 Apr, beaten 16L, and earlier 10th at Turfway Park when $9. Second-up at a mile this prep he managed 5th at Turfway over 1609m on 11 Mar, beaten 10.3L. Can improve with a more economical run from barrier 6 but needs to lift.
