Racing well recently. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at Saint-Cloud on October 14 over 1600m, 2 len behind Asima with 56.5kg at $3.30.

At the latest run 7th of 9 at Deauville All Weather on October 22 over 1500m, 10 len behind Captain Henry with 58kg at $6.90. The race before that ran on from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Craon on September 27 over 1650m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Dribble carrying 56.5kg at $4.10. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
