Last start 6th (Fr2) over 2030m at this track beaten 17 m by Rock Fisherman (2:27.00) in 4yo+ NR up to 70 on May 2 at $18. Before that, tired badly to finish 10th (Fr1) over 1980m at Tamworth, well beaten by Ashleys Blue Chip (2:22.80) in NR up to 65 on April 3 at $3.80. Has the inside draw which may spark a revival.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr6) over 2030m after being wide early at this track, beaten 21 m by Mondello Beach (2:25.30) in 4yo+ NR up to 70 on May 2 at $7. Before that, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 2300m at Menangle beaten 8 m by Has The Courage (2:46.40) in NR up to 80 on April 12 at $10. Tricky draw again but expected to go very well.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
