Placed in all three runs this prep, including a last start 2nd at Mahoning Valley over 1207m, beaten 3.5L by Machico Madeira. Also finished 2nd two starts back over the same trip, and was 3rd prior to that. Drops slightly in distance and gets blinkers on. Consistent recent form suggests he can feature with the right run.
