Racing well recently. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Turffontein Standside on January 3 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Chapbook with 60kg at $13.50. The race before that second last in a small field at Turffontein Standside on December 27 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Constellation carrying 58kg at $4.80. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.

At the latest run 11th of 13 at Turffontein Standside on January 11 over 1160m, 7 len behind Almond Sea carrying 50kg at $26. The run before that 4th of 13 at Turffontein Standside in G3 on December 27 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Taxi To The Moon with 52kg at $101. Better than that recent moderate performance suggests.
