Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Sr3) over 1980m at Tamworth, at the bell was 6th-9.8 beaten 12 m by Bushy Beach (2:26.30) in NR up to 58 on November 13 at $23. Before that beaten 12 metres, fifth at Tamworth over 1609m NR up to 57 on October 30. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.75 m second behind Captain Groove at this track over 1609m NR up to 53 last start. Before that was beaten a neck second again at this track same class on October 31. Racing well and with even luck can feature again.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Having his second run back from a spell. Game effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 3rd-4.23 beaten 2.25 m by Rumour Stride (1:54.20) in NR up to 53 on November 7 at $5.50. Fitter and could make his presence felt.
