Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following March 15 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.8 m (Fr8) at Ascot Park Raceway (2:45.20) beating Major Burns in 3yo+ on April 3 at $21.70. This race will be harder than that win. Facing a tricky assignment in this line-up.

Last start 8th (Fr4) over 2400m at Wyndham Raceway beaten 70 m by Five Crowns (2:56.20) in 3yo CG on March 30 at $35.80. Two runs back 2nd (Fr3) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 5 m by Captain Commodore (2:46.60) in 3yo+ on March 8 at $14.80. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
