Last start solid effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1680m at this track beaten 16 m by Lougle (2:) in 3yo+ NMT 3 LTW's on March 6 at $8.50. Two runs back posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr2) at Carrick (2:45.30) beating Glenview Lanikai in 4yo+ No NR on February 22 at $1.60. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Last start failed to finish when he ran at Carrick on March 8 over 2650m. Two runs back 3rd (Fr5) over 2090m at Hobart beaten 4.5 m by Lynryd Skynryd (2:35.70) in NR 70 to 79 on February 28 at $15. Prefer to see him perform well before recommending.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Dazzle Me at Carrick over 2150m in a NR 60 to 64 on February 22 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Denny at Carrick over 1670m in a NR 60 to 64 on March 8 at $5.50. Nice effort last time. Further improvement to come so worth following.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2 m second behind Alberio at Burnie over 2180m NR 50 or better last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres second at this track over 2200m same class on March 6. Solid claims.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 4 m (Sr1) at Carrick (2:41.30) beating National News in NR 60 to 64 on February 22 at $15. Hard to leave out on current form. Sure to measure up once more.

Last start by 1.4 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Hobart (2:35.70) beating Rock On Playboy in NR 60 to 64 on March 15 at $7.50. Big chance with any luck from the draw.

Improved last start with a solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 2090m at Hobart, beaten 1.4 m by Major Lester (2:35.70) in NR 60 to 64 on March 15 at $6. Can continue with the good form and overcome the awkward draw.
