Didn't do much last start, 5th (Fr1) over 2422m at Maitland, at the bell was 6th-10.4 beaten 8 m by Applied (2:57.10) in No NR on December 27 at $51. Before that 4th (Sr1) over 1609m at this track beaten 6 m by Tigerlicious (1:55.40) in NR up to 47 on December 20 at $41. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. Was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr5) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 15 m by Tiger Prince (2:02.30) in NR up to 65 on December 24 at $101. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Down Ward Dog at Penrith over 2125m in a NR up to 57 on December 18 at $101. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.
