Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 8th (Fr3) over 1720m at this track beaten 24 m by Pinnie (2:04.80) in NR 70 to 85 on March 28 at $21. Before that 4th (Sr3) over 2240m at this track, at the bell was 10th-18.58 beaten 13 m by Howdy Mate (2:46.40) in NR 60 to 69 on March 21 at $21. Needs to do more. Others better.

Last start 4th (FT Fr7) over 2570m at Charlton beaten 19 m by Maestro (3:14.00) in No NR on March 15 at $9.50. Two runs back 6th (Fr5) over 2190m after showing early pace at Maryborough, beaten 35 m by El Resamo (2:40.10) in NR 65 to 79 on November 2 at $12. Makes plenty of appeal.

Well beaten last start by Howdy Mate, a rival who he faces again; when 15 metres seventh at this track over 2240m in a NR 60 to 69 race on March 21. Can't have on that basis.

Genuine contender in this suitable contest.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Kyvalley Jetstream at this track over 1720m 0W/15 0K stake last start. Before that was beaten 1.4 metres second again at this track over 2240m in NR 60 to 69 on March 21. Rates highly so expect a bold run.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

In good form recently. Last start won by 1.4 m as favourite (Sr1) at this track (2:46.40) beating Claudys Hero in NR 60 to 69 on March 21 at $2.15 at the bell was 5th-7. Key chance who should go close again.
