Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing fourth behind Eagle Hanover at Cambridge Raceway over 2200m on September 17 at $22.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.75 m finishing second behind President Flynntin at Cambridge Raceway over 2700m on October 1 at $8.30. Can play a role in the finish.

Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third behind Ocean Eyes at this track over 2200m in a 2yo+ on October 4 at $22.40. Progressing well. Sure to be there at the business end.

Resuming after a spell of six months. Ran only once last preparation running when well beaten into eighth behind Paramount Kiwi at this track over 1700m in a 3yo on April 19 at $29.80. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Should be there at the business end.
