At the latest run got back early 7th of 11 at Beaudesert Mdn on March 17 over 1400m, slow going 3 len behind Shape Of Water with 53kg at $151. The race before that failed to make an impression; ran last of 7 at Mackay Bm55 on February 21 over 1560m, on a slow track; 13 len behind Diasonic carrying 56.5kg at $18. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Third-up today. First-up ran last of 11 at Warwick Mdn-Sw on March 2 over 1350m, 18 len behind As Expected carrying 55kg at $101.
