Third-up today. First-up raced on the speed and boxed on steadily finished second of 9 runners at Le Lion-d'angers on June 5 over 3700m, on slow going 0.8 len behind Mona Lisa D'amsyl with 67kg at $4.40. Last start favourite; won by 6 len Cholet on June 30 over 3700m defeating Mickel Ange carrying 68.5kg at $2.20 in a hurdle. Fitter now and making headway every start. Take beating.
