Returns from a 62-day let-up. Last start ran second last of 7 at Horseshoe Indianapolis Turf on June 13 over 1006m, 7 len behind Can't Deny It with 55.5kg at $6.40. The start before that ran last of 7 at Oaklawn Park on April 18 over 1207m, 10 len behind Eglise with 54.5kg at $9.80. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
