Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr6) over 1720m at this track, beaten 3.5 m by Hez All Rock (2:02.20) in NR 60 to 72 on May 3 at $5.50. Before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr4) over 2240m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track was 10th-17.97 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Chasing Rex (2:42.10) in NR 60 to 69 on April 19 at $8. Not keen on his chances in this field.
