Last start couldn't go on with it; ran last of 7 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on December 11 over 1600m, 13 len behind Eclipsion with 59.5kg at $15. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Yarra Valley Mdn-Sw on November 30 over 1514m, on heavy track; 2.5 len behind Sound It Out carrying 59.5kg at $17. Seriously doubt his chances in this.
