Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming made ground from midfield; finished sixth of 8 starters at Auteuil in the LR Prix Claude Le Lorrain (Joseph Audon) on September 26 over 3900m, slow track; 14 len behind Gardons Le Sourire with 70.5kg at $11. Last start favourite; came from midfield to post a big 6 len win. Les Sables-d'olonne on October 13 over 3400m on rain affected going defeating Walschan carrying 58kg at $2.60. Fitter now and should appreciate the step up to 3900m here.
