Returns from a 39-day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at this track Hcp on November 4 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind King Jester carrying 60kg at $2.60. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.6 len at this track Hcp October 25 over 1000m in soft going defeating Missile Thunder carrying 56kg at $4.60. Will prove very tough to beat.

Most recently favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Cairns Hcp November 25 over 950m defeating Bloomin' Ripper carrying 54.5kg at $2.80. Before that ran last of 7 at Innisfail Qlty on October 18 over 1200m, slow going 6 len behind Under The Limit carrying 55kg at $3.80. In form and is a solid top-three hope.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start second last of 10 at Rockhampton Hcp on November 14 over 1050m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Cherry Rose carrying 54kg at $26. The race before that 3rd in a small field at Rockhampton Bm70 on October 30 over 1050m, slow going 4 len behind Torque I Tee with 58kg at $3.90. Has some ability and is worth another chance.
