Going well. Returns from a 50-day let-up. Most recently raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at Flemington in the G1 All-Star Mile on March 8 over 1600m, nose behind Tom Kitten carrying 59kg at $2.70. Before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Caulfield G1 Futurity Stakes February 22 over 1400m defeating Tom Kitten carrying 59kg at $1.70. Adds plenty of interest and will take beating if he travelled well.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation to post a big 4 len win. This track G1 Citi Hong Kong Gold Cup February 23 over 2000m defeating Ensued carrying 57kg at $1.30. First up last campaign second of 9 at this track in the G2 Oriental Watch Sha Tin Trophy (Handicap) October 13 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Galaxy Patch carrying 61kg at $10.

The start before that 4th of 9 at this track in the G1 Queen's Silver Jubilee Cup on February 23 over 1400m, 2 len behind Ka Ying Rising with 57kg at $44. Would have to improve sharply.
