Last start was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Lenard Ess at Maryborough over 1690m in a NR up to 49 on February 25 at $11. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at Charlton was leading by 4.8 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Breathe Easy (1:55.50) in NR 41 to 45 on February 16 at $4.80. Drawn favourably and is worth another chance.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Case Forty Eight at Hamilton over 1660m in a NR up to 50 on February 23 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third behind Case Forty Eight at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 50 on February 27 at $26. Leading contender again.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Case Forty Eight at this track over 1790m in a NR up to 50 on February 27 at $81. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Go Jack Crocker at Mt Gambier over 2190m in a 4yo+ NR 46 to 51 on March 14 at $8.50. Hard to beat.

Seven-year-old entire showed improvement last start. Was driven from back in the field when 2nd (Fr5) over 1780m after showing early speed and racing wide at Mt Gambier beaten 15 m by Roblen Ranger (2:12.40) in 4yo+ NR 41 to 45 on March 14 at $34. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Spook Crocker at Mt Gambier over 2190m in a 4yo+ NR up to 64 on March 6 at $101. Prefer others on this occasion.

Improved last start with a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 2190m at Maryborough was 2nd-4.6 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Shaq (2:39.40) in NR up to 50 on March 16 at $12. Can continue the good form and take this out.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Heatseeker at Charlton over 2100m in a NR 50 to 55 on March 15 at $10. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 2nd (Fr2) over 2150m after showing early speed at Birchip, at the bell was leading 0.1 beaten a head by Shotinthedark (2:41.10) in NR up to 55 on March 8 at $4.40. Well placed and expected to bounce back.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
