His most recent start before the BC was a 5th by 2 at AQU going a mile, with the winner, Dispersal, going in 132.4

The race before that, he did get his ass kicked, but it was going 8.5 at SA, in which he ran 3rd by 8 to the red hot Present Value and the mighty Rahy. 140 3/5ths was the winning time.

The race before that he won in 133.2 at DMR.

The race before that, also at DMR, he was 2nd by 1/2 to the very underrated Olympic Native. 120 1/5th was the winning time. In third, another whopping eleven lengths back, was Sam Who.

The race before that, also DMR, he won by 3 going 6f in 108 flat.

Yeah, he would have handled Dancing Spree.
