Having second run back today. First-up after nine months pulled up at Maure-de-Bretagne on February 8 over 3800m. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Le Lion-d'angers on June 8 over 2400m, on slow going 48 len behind Misty Morning with 64kg at $25. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.
