Sound gelding who was ultra consistent last preparation.On his last 8 starts he has had a 1 win and 3 placings. He is currently having a short let up and will head back to work at the end of July if not sold beforehand.
Last preparation He ran 3rd first up, a nose by a nose to 2 horses pretty little fellow and One Last Poet that have gone on to win a number of races this preparation . One Last Poet went to Sydney for the Country Championship race. He can lead or race off the pace.
