He is doing well and is in a really good space. His last start was pleasing and it is encouraging that Total Protection has come out and finished third in a Grade 3 since. This distance is still on the short side, but a positive run is expected and he can earn.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2022.04.07. Best MR:104. Decent latest. Total Protection placed in a Grade 3 next time.
