At the latest run eased back early on 7th of 9 at this track on October 12 over 1700m, slow going 6 len behind Altostratus carrying 53kg at $63.80. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at this track on September 29 over 2000m, 4 len behind Lamiya carrying 52kg at $78.50. Unlikely to threaten these.
