Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign 12th of 14 at Dundalk All Weather on January 31 over 1408m, 11 len behind Lyle The Crocodile carrying 60.5kg at $81. When resuming last campaign ran last of 18 at Leopardstown on July 25 over 1508m, 14 len behind Latin Fever carrying 57.5kg at $17. Not keen on her chances.

Racing well. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at Gowran Park on April 23 over 1408m, in the wet; 5 len behind Dance For Chester carrying 62.5kg at $7.50. Before that won by 0.5 len at Gowran Park April 16 over 1609m on a rain affected track defeating Live Like The Boss carrying 56kg at $8. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Three-year-old filly (Belardo - Proud Maria) making her debut. Profiles nicely and is worth keeping safe.
