Two runs back won by 1.5 m (FT Fr1) at Boort (3:29.80) beating Maestro in No NR on March 1 at $4.40 at the bell was 2nd-5.2. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Im Above The Law at Kilmore over 2660m in a NR 55 or better on February 12 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind The Dark Thunder at Boort over 2612m in a No NR on March 1 at $3.10. Hard to beat.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind The Dark Thunder at Boort over 2612m in a No NR on March 1 at $2.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind Run Forest Run at Birchip over 2550m in a No NR on March 8 at $4.20. Rates highly. Solid top-three prospects.

Expected Settling Position: Pace

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Crusher Clyde at Melton over 2240m in a NR 65 to 75 on March 7 at $5. Raced better the start before that with a good run when 2nd (10m Fr1) over 2570m at Ararat, at the bell was 2nd-0.7 beaten a nose by More Wanted (3:17.90) in No NR on February 27 at $5.50. Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Last start 4th (Fr4) over 2240m at Melton was 3rd-5.71 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Quirky Character (2:44.70) in NR up to 90 on March 7 at $14. Before that, was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr7) over 1720m at Melton was 8th-14.04 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Quirky Character (2:03.70) in NR 70 to 85 on February 28 at $61. Capable of a lot more.
