Second-up. First-up after three months second last of 8 at Newcastle All Weather on March 4 over 1200m, 8 len behind Harry Did with 61kg at $6.50. Previously second-up 7th of 9 at Southwell All Weather on November 12 over 1000m, 6 len behind Sugar Hill Babe carrying 59.5kg at $3.30. No easier this time and is likely to struggle.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign second of 12 at Pontefract October 7 over 1000m, soft track; 0.5 len behind Profiteer carrying 61kg at $26. When resuming last campaign fifth of 11 at Newcastle All Weather February 2 2024 over 1200m, 4 len behind Bonito Cavalo carrying 59.5kg at $41. Certainly one to consider.
