Won his 8th. race from 38 starts at Alex Park last week in the manner of a horse whose run is not ended yet.

Gets his 3rd.different driver from his last 3 starts as Sean Grayling ( who did well last week) switches to the Charlie Roberts' owned, Aliante, while more regular driver, Zac Butcher stays with Arden's Choice.

Trainer, Barry Purdon, takes the reins this time so will provide him with a good close up look as to where the horse is at so early in the season.

Expect to see some well dressed connections lurking in the stands for this race, being the Fashions At The Park Mobile Pace- Race 7 at 8. 45 p.m. is the scheduled time.

Flys off for a seaside trip to Kaikoura for the Aged Sires Stakes handicap event.

Tough task, being off 20 metres behind but expected to be competitive.

Yet to win left handed , or be placed in the South Island, so another challenge to be faced. Fingers crossed

Gets a start in the Auckland Cup from barrier 6, with master driver, David Butcher in the sulky.

Looks like being the rack outsider but a first 5 finish would be an exceptional effort in this field.

Exceptional effort it was!

Good effort for 4th in the Flying Mile but a little unbalanced near the finish may have cost 3rd.
Probably better suited over longer journeys and in racing right handed.
