Freshened since claiming his maiden victory on debut; won by 0.5 len at this track June 2 over 1200m defeating Baristo with 56kg at $20. Will take a lot from that run and is sure to play a big role.

The run before that 7th of 10 at Vichy in LR on May 14 over 1000m, 8 len behind Imperial Me Cen carrying 55.5kg at $4.40. Strong contender on her best form.
