Comes here second-up after a week-and-a-half. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Sr1) over 1750m at Swan Hill was 8th-17 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Hot Deal (2:03.10) in NR 65 or better on January 13 at $126. Not keen.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Maxy Wants To Play at this track over 1790m in a NR 62 to 75 on December 26 at $23. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Post Game at Globe Derby Park over 1800m in a NR 65 to 79 on January 17 at $6. Hard to beat.

First up. At the last run he good run when 2nd (Fr1) over 2190m after showing early speed at this track was 3rd-3.7m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 2.75 m by Rio Rock (2:41.30) in NR 65 or better on September 30 at $16. Bright prospects again.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Sr5) over 1750m at Swan Hill was 9th-19.6 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Hot Deal (2:03.10) in NR 65 or better on January 13 at $14. The run prior 7th (Sr6) over 2190m at this track beaten 12 m by Tough Aint Enough (2:39.70) in NR 65 or better on December 30 at $61. Likely improver.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
