Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 12 at Camperdown Mdn-Sw on January 18 over 1600m, 3 len behind Millvina with 59.5kg at $12. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at Yarra Valley Mdn-Sw on December 20 over 1500m, 0.8 len behind Candle In The Dark with 59.5kg at $11. Tricky draw but has good pace and will give a sight.

Raced twice to date. At very long odds at debut, 9th of 14 at Mornington Mdn-Sw on January 1 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind I Am Victorious carrying 57.5kg at $71. Last start settled back and ran on when 10th of 13 at Werribee Mdn-Sw on January 31 over 1400m, 9 len behind Colour Blast carrying 57.5kg at $101. Better gate this time and can improve sharply.
