Started at $23.00 and below par when 5th last run at Leopardstown but challenged by weaker competitors. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw. Needs to improve.

At $15.00 finished 8th last run at Cork but was a debutant last start. Likely to get back. Competing at a higher level of competition. Slim possibilty.
