Resumes. Finished off last campaign when a close third behind Invisible at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on October 25 at $5.80. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 3 m win (Fr3) at this track (2:42.50) beating The Jolly Roger in 2yo+ on August 30 at $2.40. First-up winner in the past and is a leading contender.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
