Last start was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Crayons To Perfume at Launceston over 2200m on October 4 at $15. Raced better the start before that where he won by a head as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:57.30) beating Knock Out in on September 23 at $1.70. Rates highly. Each-way chance.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Wee Georgie Wood at Launceston over 1680m on September 13 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Colby Sanz at Launceston over 2200m on September 27 at $6.50. Rates highly. Hard to beat.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 2nd (Sr2) over 2200m at Launceston, at the bell was 2nd-12.2 beaten 11 m by Crayons To Perfume (2:42.30) on October 4 at $31. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into eighth behind Iron Clad at this track over 2090m on September 23 at $51. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 8th (Fr6) over 2200m after being wide early at Launceston beaten 23 m by Crayons To Perfume (2:42.30) on October 4 at $21. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 3 m (Sr2) at this track (1:57.80) beating Laid Back in on September 6 at $7 at the bell was leading 4. Better than last start and deserves another chance.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after a quick start, behind Ray Dan at this track over 2090m on September 20 at $4.33. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Colby Sanz at Launceston over 2200m on September 27 at $5.50. Sure to go well again.

Second up after running was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr7) over 2090m at this track, beaten 21 m by Iron Clad (2:34.80) on September 23 at $17. Unlikely to threaten against this field.

Last start 4th (FT) over 2200m at Launceston was 4th-3.2 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Maebee (2:44.30) on October 4 at $7.50. Two runs back won by 2.5 m when quickly away, (Fr6) at this track (2:34.80) beating Shoobees Spirit in on September 23 at $10. Better than last start and deserves another chance.

Four-year-old entire who has plenty of ability. Unlucky last start 6th (Sr1) over 2090m at this track beaten 7 m by Iron Clad (2:34.80) on September 23 at $4.33. Not out of this despite the second-row draw. Strong contender.
