Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 33-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 8 at Marseille Vivaux on May 2 over 2000m, 2 len behind Valiente with 59.5kg at $2.40. The start before that favourite; won by 4.5 len at Chantilly April 22 over 1600m defeating Santa Luzia carrying 59kg at $2. Showed enough last start to suggest he can take this out.
