Scored at his last three starts. Last start won by a neck (Fr6) at Cambridge Raceway (2:43.80) beating Don't Stop Dreaming in on January 9 at $3.10. Has won his last three in New Zealand - two of them at Group 1 level - so expect him to measure up.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start 7th (Sr5) over 2690m at Shepparton beaten 14 m by Kanena Provlima (3:13.90) in G3 No NR on January 11 at $11. Two runs back 8th (Sr4) over 2650m at Bendigo was 2nd-3.3m 3WNC at the bell, beaten 8 m by Bulletproof Boy (3:10.50) in G2 No NR on January 4 at $6. Wouldn't shock if he snuck into the exotics.
