Drops sharply to 47.3kg with the 3.2kg claim and draws barrier 1, with Johanis Aranguren back aboard after partnering his 1006m Maiden Claiming 67 win on Apr 14. Last start he was 6th of 7, beaten 10.1L by Shortstop in a 1006m Claiming 74 here under 54.5kg. Steps up 201m third-up, and the light weight plus inside draw present a different scenario from last time.

Back up to 1207m, where he’s 2:1-0-0 and 2:1-0-0 at this track/distance, looks a positive move. Last start he sat 2nd throughout to finish 2nd over 1006m at Fanduel Sportsbook And Horse Racing on 25 Apr in a Claiming 74, beaten 6L by Shortstop carrying 56kg. With 56kg again from barrier 4 and second-up, he has the setup to hold his form.

First-up after 204 days, he returns to the trip at which he’s (2:1-0-1), including a 1207m Maiden Special Weight win at Mountaineer Park on 30 Sep 2025 (SP 7) over The Coldest One. He also ran 3rd there on 22 Oct 2025 in an Allowance 55 at 1207m, 3.3L behind Red Roscoe at SP 2.5. If forward enough fresh, that 1207m profile gives him a sound chance to figure.
