Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up won by 3 len Moulins on September 18 over 3800m slow track defeating Illarant with 71kg at $26.90 in a steeplechase. Second-up came from midfield; finished 11th of 16 runners at Auteuil on October 22 over 3600m, on slow going 28 len behind Kate Des Genievres carrying 72kg at $18.90. Likely to find this too tough without big improvement.
