Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 5 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at Gloucester Park (2:32.60) beating Better Eclipse in G3 No NR on February 20 at $41. Two runs back game effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 2130m after showing early pace at Gloucester Park was 3rd-3.7m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 2 m by Better Eclipse (2:33.40) in No NR on December 19 at $3.50. Strips fitter and is among the exotic chances.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth behind Magnificent Storm at Gloucester Park over 1730m in a No NR on February 13 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second behind Rolling Fire at Gloucester Park over 2130m in a G3 No NR on February 20 at $6. Consistent of late and can feature again.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following February 20 run. Last start posted a big 15 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Gloucester Park (2:02.80) beating Hotly Pursued in 4yo+ NR 75 or better on February 27 at $3.60. This race will be harder than that win. Not fancied.

Continued his strong form from last campaign when he made an impressive return over 1730m at Gloucester Park last start, winning by 6 metres. With even luck from the back row he could win again.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr3) over 2130m at Gloucester Park, beaten 12 m by Minos (2:33.00) in No NR on February 20 at $6.50. Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr9) over 1730m at Gloucester Park beaten 17 m by Magnificent Storm (2:01.50) in No NR on February 13 at $126. This looks a tough task.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
