Most recently won by 5 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis May 2 over 1609m defeating Star Review with 54kg at $1.30. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis April 7 over 1106m defeating Luckies Joy with 55.5kg at $3.40. This looks too tough.

Second-up. Comes off a 47-day let-up. First-up after five months got back early in a small field at Horseshoe Indianapolis on April 8 over 1207m, 7 len behind Illini carrying 54kg at $4.30. Previously second-up 3rd of 12 at Horseshoe Indianapolis in LR on October 1 over 1710m, 2.75 len behind C J's Storm with 56kg at $27.70. Unlikely to threaten.
