Didn't do much last start, 5th (Sr1) over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 7 m by Tango Tara (1:54.50) in No NR on January 4 at $7. Before that was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1609m after being wide early at Geelong, beaten 19 m by Triple Eight (1:52.70) in No NR on December 20 at $8.50. Not keen.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing third behind Star Major at Menangle over 2300m in a No NR on December 14 at $6. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Swayzee at Bathurst over 2790m in a G3 No NR on December 26 at $26. Going well and gets every chance from this draw.

Beaten favourite when edged out by a nose last start when second in Bendigo Cup on January 4. Proved too good the start prior at Menangle on December 14. Can take advantage of the good draw and prove hard to beat.

Has won his last four. Posted a 3 m win as favourite (Fr6) at Menangle (1:52.40) beating Promiseland in NR up to 95 on January 4 at $1.30. Two runs back posted a big 4.5 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at Menangle (1:51.10) beating Bainbridge in No NR on December 14 at $3.10. Steps up in grade but winning form is hard to knock.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 12th (Fr2) over 2650m after showing early speed at Bendigo beaten 13 m by Bulletproof Boy (3:10.50) in G2 No NR on January 4 at $81. Two runs back posted a big 5 m win as favourite when driven back in the field, (Sr3) held up early, at Mildura (2:08.80) beating Imperials Reason in NR 65 on December 20 at $1.28. Unlikely to threaten in this tough assignment.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Sr4) over 2650m at Bendigo, beaten 8 m by Bulletproof Boy (3:10.50) in G2 No NR on January 4 at $6. Showed ability the run before when he won by 4.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Menangle (2:42.60) beating Perfect Stride in No NR on December 14 at $3.70. Right in this with better luck.
