Form hard to fault. At the latest run eased near 1000m; 2nd of 9 at Sandown-Hillside (Bm70) on April 30 over 1300m, on rain affected going; neck behind Skywolf with 59kg at $3.80. The race before that favourite; won by 1.3 len at Moonee Valley 4yo+ (Bm64) March 25 over 1200m defeating Aminatu with 59.5kg at $3. Lightly raced and progressive. Looks hard to hold out.
