Solid performance when beaten by 2.6m finishing second behind Looping De Caponet at Chateaubriant over 2400m in a 4yo race on January 19 at $5.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.1m finishing second behind Louisis Du Lupin at Saint Brieuc over 2575m in a 4yo colts and gelding race on February 2 at $4.70. Has the right credentials to take this out.
