Most recently eased back early on 5th of 8 at Marseille Vivaux on May 2 over 2000m, 2.5 len behind Valiente carrying 54.5kg at $8.40. The race before that 2nd in a small field at Salon-de-Provence on April 16 over 2400m, long-neck behind Affection carrying 51.5kg at $26. Rates highly and should be prominent.

Most recently 2nd of 7 at Chatillon-Chalaronne on April 27 over 2700m, 1.3 len behind Sarmya with 52.5kg. The race before that was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.5 len at Wissembourg April 12 over 2125m defeating Koelle Alaaf carrying 52.5kg. This might be too rich.
