At the latest run ran second last in a small field at this track on August 6 over 2400m, slow going 4.5 len behind Loving Queen carrying 52.5kg at $13.60. Before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 10 at Vittel on July 19 over 2400m, head behind Roi Du Ciel carrying 54kg at $15.70. Has been far from disgraced in last two starts but others look to have his measure.
