Has been around the mark, including a last-start 4th at Oaklawn Park over 1710m on 17 Apr, beaten 1.8L on FT after settling back, behind Wolf Tooth, with 56kg. Earlier ran 4th at Fair Grounds over 1674m on 8 Mar on MY at $3. Third at Fair Grounds over 1710m on 4 Jan on FM at $21 shows he can place at the trip. Consistent recent efforts suggest he can feature with the right run.
