Not so good on last four outings (new stable last two) and opposable on his turf record
10 (11)	Precious Spartan Bay J:Archie Young(5) T:Patrick Neville	J:Archie Young(5) T:Patrick Neville	127	—	116149	68	77	60	6d	—	—	+10	12.2	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Has fared better over 1m than 1m2f; big questions to answer over this new trip
