Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at Newcastle, at the bell was leading 5.09 beaten 15 m by Cooindalai (1:57.00) on September 14 at $2.90. Before that 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, beaten 45 m by Rio De Janeiro Blue (1:53.00) in 3yo+ on September 8 at $151. Others make more appeal.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after showing early speed, behind Blackjack Bart at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on September 15 at $9. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Prince Of Peace at Penrith over 1720m on September 24 at $3.40. Draws wide but with even luck he can be in the finish again.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
