Going well. Last start won by 1.75 len at Mornington Bm64 May 12 over 2445m defeating Eye For An Eye with 60kg at $16. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm64 on April 21 over 2400m, 1.0 len behind Sparkle Link with 60kg at $21. Will be in this for a long way.

Third-up today. Resuming held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Sale Bm64 on April 20 over 1717m, 1.1 len behind Colour Blast carrying 54kg at $18. Second-up favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Moe Bm58 May 13 over 2050m on a soft track defeating Avenues with 58kg at $3.20. Fitter again, very hard to catch.
