Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Don Juan at Addington over 1980m on April 15 at $4.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Arizonawildcat at this track over 2600m in a 5yo+ on April 27 at $6.50. Hard to beat.

Last start 10th (Fr9) over 1980m at Addington beaten 25 m by Hey Tonight (2:28.50) in 5yo+ on April 21 at $23.90. Two runs back 7th (Sr1) over 2600m at Addington beaten 5.5 m by Chal Vee Power (3:17.90) on April 15 at $62.20. This looks a far sterner test.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind Hey Tonight at Addington over 1980m in a 5yo+ on April 21 at $6.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Flying For Me at this track over 2600m in a 5yo+ on April 27 at $4.70. Sure to be there at the business end.
