On debut second of 12 at Navan April 8 2025 over 1609m, a head behind Mississippi River with 60kg at $6. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Brings class international form and finds a winnable race.

The run before that 12th of 15 at Caulfield in the G3 Vic Hcp on April 4 over 1400m, 7 len behind Hughes carrying 54kg at $31. Had chance last time but should be thereabouts again.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 12 at Bendigo in the LR Golden Mile on May 2 over 1600m, nose behind Von Hauke with 54kg at $4.60. The race before that won by 2 len at Mornington Bm84 April 18 over 1600m defeating Highlights carrying 61.5kg at $2.10. Brings the right form and should go close.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation 12th of 17 at this track Bm96 November 4 over 2800m, soft track; 10 len behind Litzdeel carrying 58kg at $31. When resuming last campaign seventh of 10 at Moonee Valley So You Think September 6 over 1500m, 5.5 len behind Desert Lightning with 59kg at $91. Might be better off following this run.

The start before that 4th of 12 at Morphettville in the LR City Adelaide on April 11 over 1529m, slow going 4 len behind Arran Bay carrying 56kg at $12. Thereabouts last time out.

Second-up ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Bendigo Gold Bracelet May 2 over 1400m defeating Oh Too Good carrying 58kg at $26. Gets in very well at the weights and has to be a huge chance.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran last of 8 at Warrnambool Hcp on May 7 over 1400m, on a wet track; 10 len behind Test Of Love carrying 57.5kg at $14.
