Comes here in the right form. Won by 2 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (1:51.10) beating Playa Blanca in NR up to 80 on February 28 at $2.60 at the bell was 2nd-4.78. Two runs back surrendered the lead and finished 4th (Fr7) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track was 2nd-4.35 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Captain Bellasario (1:51.00) in NR up to 95 on February 7 at $9. Draws well but this may prove too much of a step up.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Don Hugo at this track over 2300m in a No NR on February 28 at $81. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Laceys Lad at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on March 6 at $3.40. First four hope from a low draw.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 21 m by Kingmaker (1:49.60) in No NR on March 7 at $126. Two runs back 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 8th-12.26 beaten 16 m by Captain Bellasario (1:51.60) in NR up to 95 on February 28 at $15. Not keen on his chances in this field.

Luckless last start when 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track was 6th-8.5 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Captains Mistress (1:49.80) in 4yo G1 No NR on March 7 at $26. Showed ability the outing before when he won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr6) at this track (1:50.00) beating Final Deadline in 4yo LR No NR on February 21 at $3.10 at the bell was leading 1.46. Held up in the Chariots of Fire last start but was going very well prior so has strong claims.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m third behind Kingmaker at this track over 1609m No NR last start. Before that was beaten 2.5 metres fourth again at this track same class on February 21. Good last start and can be right in the thick of things.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track was 5th-7.93 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Captain Bellasario (1:51.60) in NR up to 95 on February 28 at $3.90. Before that 3rd (Sr2) over 2400m at Blayney, at the bell was 8th-11.6 beaten 11 m by Shez Sweet Louise (3:01.00) in NR up to 90 on February 15 at $13. This looks too tough and others appear better placed.

Last start 4th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track was 5th-8.35 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Captains Mistress (1:49.80) in 4yo G1 No NR on March 7 at $51. Two runs back won by 1.2 m as favourite (Sr4) at Melton (1:58.90) beating Sanchez in 4yo G3 No NR on February 14 at $3. Has been good from tough barriers so far this campaign so has winning prospects.

Good run when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Speak The Truth at Albion Park over 2138m in a No NR on February 14 at $13. Then a handy effort when a close second behind The Answer at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on February 28 at $4. In fine form. Draws wide but with even luck can be thereabouts.

Two back was well beaten into eleventh after being driven well back, behind Hotly Pursued at Gloucester Park over 2130m in a 3yo+ No NR on January 16 at $17. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Kingmaker at this track over 1609m in a No NR on March 7 at $4.40. Draws wide but the last effort was very strong after racing wide.
