Recent form sound. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Sam Houston Park on February 28 over 1308m, nose behind Derby Date carrying 56kg at $3.50. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Sam Houston Park on February 7 over 1408m, 3.5 len behind Threefiftyseven with 56kg at $8. Doesn't need to improve much to play a big role.
