Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Sr2) over 1609m at Newcastle was 6th-10.05 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Cooindalai (1:58.50) in NR up to 32 on December 16 at $71. Before that was well back in the run when 9th (Fr7) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 35 m by Robyn Taylor (1:59.50) in NR up to 34 on November 18 at $13. Cannot enthuse on what we have seen of late.

Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at Newcastle, at the bell was 4th-8.47 beaten 8 m by Cheddar Valley (1:55.90) in NR 43 to 45 on December 16 at $81. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, after a quick start, behind Booker Bay at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 45 on December 13 at $15. Has the job ahead.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 5th (Fr5) over 2030m at Newcastle, beaten 20 m by Conor Mcgregor (2:26.10) in NR up to 52 on December 21 at $51. Before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1609m at Newcastle was 5th-8.53 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Nifty Studleigh (1:55.00) in NR 50 to 53 on December 16 at $8. This looks out of her reach.

Strong return to racing last start with a game effort when 3rd (Sr3) over 1646m at this track was 6th-9.8m 2WWC at the bell, beaten 14 m by Ignite The Fire (1:59.30) in NR up to 50 on December 20 at $26. Among the main chances again.

Good performance when beaten by 4 m finishing fourth behind Conor Mcgregor at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 57 on December 13 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Ignite The Fire at this track over 1646m in a NR up to 50 on December 20 at $5. Can be right in the thick of things.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
