Third-up and drawn barrier 2, he carries 49.7kg with the 2.3kg apprentice allowance. Led then faded to 6th of 6 (54L) at Horseshoe Indianapolis over 1609m in a Maiden Claiming 68 on 13 May, having previously finished 10th of 10 in a 1207m Maiden Special Weight 80. The light weight and draw help, but he needs sharp improvement on those figures.

Second-up after finishing 4th of 6 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on 13 May over 1207m in a Maiden Special Weight 74, beaten 9.8L after settling back, with Taylor's Moonshine scoring. Steps up 502m and again draws barrier 3 with 54.5kg, with blinkers listed. Overall (7:0-0-0) at this track, so he’ll need to build on that latest effort.

Second-up after a close 3rd (1.1L) at Horseshoe Indianapolis on 5 May over 1674m in a Maiden Special Weight 63, finishing behind Audubon Bay and Amazing Mike. Blinkers are applied and he again carries 56kg from barrier 4; with a second-up record of (1:0-1-0) and solid course stats (11:0-1-2), he looks capable of holding that form.

Since then he was 5th of 7 at Horseshoe Indianapolis (1674m) in a Maiden Special Weight 63 on 5 May, 16.6L behind Audubon Bay on SY, and he’s yet to place in five starts at this track. Carries 54.5kg (up 4.8kg) and wears blinkers; needs to lift on his local record.

Carries 49.7kg with Jose Ramos Gutierrez’s 2.3kg claim and owns a track record of (2:0-1-0), so a light weight and proven course form give him a practical platform to progress.
