Racing second-up today. First-up after four months finished fourth of 7 runners at this track on January 27 over 3922m, on a wet track; 20 len behind The Great Nudie with 71kg at $26. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len this track on June 9 over 4727m defeating Innatendue carrying 72kg at $4.50 in a hurdle. Will strip fitter and makes plenty of appeal.

Resumes off a 29 day letup. Last run didn't finish the race at Gowran Park on January 23 over 4928m. The run before finished fifth of 13 starters at this track on January 13 over 4425m, on slow going 10 len behind Slotty Dotty with 75.5kg at $19. Might find this a bit too tough.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation 10 of 14 runners at Dundalk All Weather December 20 over 3218m, 11 len behind Inchiquin Maid carrying 53.5kg at $126. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 3.5 len win. Navan March 23 over 3118m on heavy track defeating Instant Tendance with 68kg at $34. Fitness an issue. Would need to be on best behaviour to threaten.
