Third-up today. Resuming finished fourth in a small field at Listowel on September 20 over 3520m, 17 len behind Ocastle Des Mottes with 71kg at $13. Second-up finished fourth of 8 runners at Galway on October 6 over 3621m, 8 len behind Road To Home with 75.5kg at $34. Rock hard fit now and should be a sharp improver.
