This seven-year-old gelding has had 58 starts for five wins and 23 places and has raced at this track twice for one place. He chased strongly for 0.4 lengths 2nd over 1550m at Morphettville Parks on 25 November, then hit the front at the 200m and drew clear for a 1.7 length win over 1528m at Morphettville on 5 December.
