Looked good last start. Won by a nose (Sr3) at Bendigo (3:10.50) beating Tact Mcleod in G2 No NR on January 4 at $10 at the bell was 4th-5.7m 2WNC. Two runs back won by 2.75 m as favourite (Sr1) at Globe Derby Park (2:42.60) beating Lord Zarias in NR 70 on December 19 at $1.35 at the bell was 2nd-1m 2WNC. Hard to knock winning form and draws to go close again.

Good run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Cantfindabettorman at Menangle over 2300m in a No NR on December 14 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Kanena Provlima at Shepparton over 2690m in a G3 No NR on January 11 at $21. With luck could break through.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 2 m as favourite (Sr3) at Bendigo (1:54.50) beating Our Vincent Can Gogh in No NR on January 4 at $3.10 at the bell was 2nd-1m 2WNC. Hard to leave out on current form. Consider for exotics.
