Failed to impress last start; 6th (FT Fr5) over 2200m at this track, beaten 11 m by Vanquish Stride (2:43.90) in No NR on September 28 at $18. Showed ability the run before when she won by a head (Sr1) at Hobart (1:57.40) beating Thee Old Bomb in NR 64 to 69 on September 21 at $9.50. Better than the last effort suggest.

Good win by 5.5 metres defeating Blue Label on August 15 at this track over 2200m NR 57 to 62. Failed to finish behind Racketeers Boy on August 24 at this track over 2200m NR 60 or better. Looks ideally placed.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start 3rd (Fr2) over 1680m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 6 m by Another Nien (2:01.20) in NR 70 to 79 on September 28 at $8.50. Before that 2nd (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at Hobart, beaten a head by Sugarpova (1:57.40) in NR 64 to 69 on September 21 at $14. This looks a far sterner test.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Mr Bondi at this track over 1680m in a NR 63 to 74 on September 14 at $6. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Another Nien at this track over 1680m in a NR 70 to 79 on September 28 at $7. Overdue and looks hard to beat again.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Fair performance when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Sugarpova at Hobart over 1609m in a NR 64 to 69 on September 21 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Sabine at this track over 2200m in a NR 64 to 69 on September 28 at $19. Should be involved on his recent form.
