Didn't do much last start, 8th (Fr1) over 1700m after showing early speed at Horsham beaten 35 m by Bettor Isolate (2:01.60) in NR 65 or better on June 11 at $151. Before that 10th (Sr3) over 1609m at Geelong beaten 35 m by Dance Affair (1:54.60) in NR 56 to 64 on May 16 at $41. Will need some luck to figure.

Good run when beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Grayson Red at this track over 1720m in a 0W/15 0K stake on June 7 at $71. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Clear Left at this track over 1720m in a NR 60 to 69 on June 14 at $13. Among the players.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Sr5) over 2200m at Ballarat, at the bell was 8th-11.5 beaten 10 m by Twisting By (2:42.60) in NR 55 to 62 on June 12 at $19. Before that and went on to finish a respectable seventh over 1700m at Horsham last time out. Can improve but this appears a bit rich.
