Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following March 16 run. Last start won by 2 m (Sr4) at Rangiora (3:15.50) beating Commander Joe in 3yo+ on March 30 at $39.80. This race will be harder than that win. This looks a far sterner test.

Last start was well beaten into fourteenth behind Renegade at Addington over 2600m in a 3yo+ on April 6 at $16. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (20m 4) over 3000m at Oamaru beaten 2.25 m by She's Tough (3:58.60) on March 23 at $19.10. Will be right in the thick of things.
