Resuming from a spell. Looked good defeating A Passion For Aces 2m $8.00 (Fr3) Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) C6994 race Oct 15 then won $6.50 (Fr3) narrowly defeating Don Boston 0.1m Menangle 1609m (1:53.4) C7692 race Oct 22. Coming off a break but has placed in 3 from 5 when fresh.

Hung out when 0.4m 2nd $2.40 (Fr9) Double Encounter Menangle 1609m (1:54.3) R73101 race Jan 18 then fought on very well to place 0.4m 3rd $7.00 (Fr2) Conviction Menangle 1609m (1:51.1) R80116 race Jan 25. Racing consistently likely leader here; could be in it for a long way.
