At the latest run raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 11 at Scone Bm58 on December 2 over 1600m, 9 len behind Oenology carrying 56.5kg at $13. The race before that ran last of 9 at Wyong Cg&E Cl1 on November 16 over 1350m, 10 len behind Bold And Blazen carrying 55kg at $31. Low on confidence and hard to recommend.
