The start before that rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 10 at this track on January 24 over 1500m, 1.5 len behind Kenilworth with 56kg at $1.80. Gets the inside stall so deserves respect.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. Last start 2nd of 12 at this track on February 12 over 1500m, 0.5 len behind Sasuke Cerise carrying 54kg at $67.20. The run before that 10th of 12 at this track on January 23 over 1500m, 11 len behind Idealist with 54kg at $90.10. Will be saved up for one last crack.

Resuming after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation ninth of 14 at this track November 27 over 1000m, 5 len behind Shonan Mana with 55kg at $132.80. When resuming last campaign eighth of 12 at Urawa May 21 over 1400m, 12 len behind Sarasa Good Work carrying 54kg at $199.40. Doesn't appeal.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up 4th of 12 at this track on January 24 over 1500m, 0.7 len behind Alegria City with 56kg at $9.50.

The run before that 6th of 12 at this track on January 24 over 1500m, 7 len behind Alegria City with 56kg at $3.90. A top-three finish would surprise.

Previously second-up 5th of 9 at this track on December 16 2023 over 1500m, 6 len behind Thinking Fursa with 54kg at $6.50. Others offer greater appeal.
