Last start was well beaten into sixth behind Captains Knock at Newcastle over 2550m in a LR No NR on December 5 at $61. Performed better the start before with a solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 6th-14.6 beaten 5.5 m by Huta (1:51.30) in NR up to 95 on November 29 at $21.

Last start won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr3) at Penrith (2:02.50) beating Black Onyx in NR up to 80 on November 27 at $2.20 at the bell was leading 0.84. Draws well so can make his presence felt.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 10th-25.88 beaten 16 m by Craftmans Charlie (1:50.70) in NR up to 90 on December 6 at $3.70. The run previous 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 5th-17.29 beaten 18 m by Captains Knock (1:48.90) in No NR on November 29 at $101. Has a better draw this time and that can spark improvement.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Huta at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on November 29 at $21. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Craftmans Charlie at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on December 6 at $18. Among the chances.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Improved last start with a game effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track was 2nd-3.93 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Craftmans Charlie (1:50.70) in NR up to 90 on December 6 at $5.50. Decent effort last start. Can be thereabouts.
