Useful gelding. Last start got back early 4th in a small field at Cranbourne Bm70 on March 14 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Hughes with 59.5kg at $17. The race before that 5th of 12 at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 on February 19 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Charisse carrying 57kg at $71. Can turn that form around in this suitable contest.

Useful gelding. Most recently 9th of 12 at Sandown-Hillside Bm64 on March 19 over 1400m, 4 len behind Tumbling carrying 61kg at $10. Before that ran on from midfield and won by 4 len at Ararat Bm64 March 4 over 1300m defeating Thiem with 59kg at $5.50. Expected to finish much closer.

Second run back. First-up after three months struggled in the run home; second last of 9 at Bendigo Bm64 on March 18 over 1300m, 7 len behind Nuts 'N' Bolts carrying 58kg at $71. Previously second-up 4th of 14 at Seymour Bm58 on July 22 over 1600m, on heavy track; 2 len behind Cortain carrying 57.5kg at $26. This looks a bit rich.

At the latest run 6th of 10 at Morphettville Parks 4yo+ 0-62 on March 22 over 1250m, 7 len behind Cuban Waters with 60kg at $13. The start before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at Wangaratta 0 - 58 March 1 over 1300m defeating O'reg carrying 60kg at $2.30. Best form should see him measure right up.

Most recently ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 9 at Avoca 0 - 58 on March 29 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind The Wizard King carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. The race before that 6th of 8 at Bendigo F&M Bm58 on March 18 over 1400m, 7 len behind Baby Hazel carrying 58kg at $9. Others read better. Racing okay but look elsewhere.
