Solid run when a close second behind Verdun at this track over 1609m in a NW32101L5 on September 7 at $2.92. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Kwick Sand at this track over 1609m in a NW30000L5 on September 14 at $2.82. Strong winning hope.

Failed to impress last start; 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 5th- beaten 5 m by Sugar Man (1:47.40) in OPEN on September 5 at $9.70. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a 0.5 m at Charlottetown (1:49.40) beating Timeisonmyside in CUP on August 22 at $4.35 at the bell was 2nd-. Capable of taking this out.
