Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr4) over 2200m after being wide early at Ballarat beaten 30 m by Arcee Phoenix (2:41.50) in G3 No NR on January 18 at $151. Before that 9th (Fr7) over 2190m after showing early speed and racing wide at Shepparton, beaten 40 m by Aldebaran Miley (2:41.50) in NR 75 to 85 on January 11 at $26. This looks too tough.

Was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr5) over 2200m at Ballarat, beaten 12 m by Arcee Phoenix (2:41.50) in G3 No NR on January 18 at $101. Before that 7th (Fr5) over 1650m after showing early pace at Bendigo, at the bell was leading 3.2m on the pegs beaten 22 m by Nephew Of Sonoko (1:58.20) in NR 76 to 89 on January 4 at $4. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Last start was well beaten after breaking at Menangle on December 14. At his previous start good run when 3rd (Fr4) over 2300m at Menangle, beaten 24 m by The Locomotive (2:45.10) in No NR on December 7 at $12. Capable of measuring up.

Improved last start with a game effort when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early pace at Bendigo was 4th-8.8m 2WNC at the bell, beaten 2.5 m by Arcee Phoenix (1:55.70) in G1 No NR on January 4 at $2.60. Classy mare who looks hard to beat.
