Resumes off a 36 day letup. Last outing finished eighth of 11 runners at Moulins on May 25 over 3500m, on slow going 16 len behind Merveille Allen carrying 63.5kg. The start before that; finished third of 13 starters at Moulins on May 9 over 3500m, slow track; 10 len behind Irupta Matuta with 61kg at $7.60. Gets a chance to win. Capable of a lot better so deserves another chance.

Had two starts to date. At debut, finished third of 8 runners at Cluny on April 25 over 2450m, slow track; 1.75 len behind Madame Verde carrying 62kg. Last start finished sixth of 14 starters at Moulins on June 14 over 3500m, on slow going 15 len behind Melchizedec carrying 62.5kg. This looks a stern test.
