Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 22 m by Jahan Hanover (1:54.30) in NW5000L5 on March 10 at $22.28. The run prior 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 30 m by Blaze On (1:55.40) in NW7500L5 on March 3 at $46.88. Good enough to make amends in this line-up.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Twig at this track over 1609m in a NW5316L5 on March 3 at $3.23. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Rock The Belles at this track over 1609m in a NW5000L5 on March 10 at $4.71. Looks the testing material.
