Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following January 12 run. Just managed to hang on and win ran on strong from last on the turn and won by a head when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:03.20) beating Spirit Of Sahara in NR up to 55 on January 17 at $3.50 at the bell was 6th-12.21. This race will be harder than that win. Might find this beyond him.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Interpretation at this track over 2190m in a NR 50 to 56 on February 17 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Lewielewis at Boort over 2250m in a NR 56 to 64 on March 1 at $5. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr7) over 2180m at Kilmore beaten 40 m by Isolation (2:40.80) in NR 52 to 56 on February 26 at $31. Two runs back 3rd (Fr2) over 1770m after showing early pace at Albury, at the bell was leading 1.2 beaten 7 m by Usyk (2:09.50) in NR up to 60 on February 13 at $31. This looks too tough.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr5) over 2190m at this track was 7th-13.53 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Intrusion (2:43.50) in NR 56 to 64 on March 3 at $8.50. Before that 5th (Sr3) over 2080m at Cranbourne, at the bell was 2nd-3.6 beaten 14 m by Wild Card (2:30.50) in NR 54 to 59 on February 22 at $3.50. Others make more appeal.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4.5 m fifth behind Rolinginthedeep at Melton over 1720m 0W/15 0K stake last start. Before that was beaten 2 metres second again at Melton over 2240m same class on February 14. Sure to be there at the business end.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
