Back in trip recently and struggled; last start 10th of 11 at Laurel Park over 1106m on 1 May, beaten 8.7L on firm with 53.5kg after settling rearward. Two Delaware Park runs prior at 1509m produced 6th placings, the latest by 9.8L in MSW company at $14. Carries 50.5kg here with blinkers on and draws barrier 3 for Anthony Pecoraro and Hunter Rea.
