Last start 2nd (FT Fr2) over 2200m at this track beaten a neck by Stepping Stones (2:45.60) in No NR on April 26 at $8.50. Two runs back posted a big 13 m win (FT Fr6) at this track (2:44.00) beating Colby Sanz in NR 60 or better on April 19 at $4.80. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 5 m win as favourite Don't take notice broke at this track on April 19. After showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:00.30) beating Imperial Laz in NR 65 to 74 on April 19 at $1.35. Two runs back posted a big 17 m win as favourite (Sr2) at Hobart (2:34.10) beating Power Up in NR 57 to 63 on April 10 at $1.35. Rates highly. Hard to go past.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at Hobart, beaten 10 m by Magnetic Terror (1:55.00) in No NR on May 3 at $16.60. Two runs back won by a nose when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:44.10) beating Cuzzy Bro in NR 75 to 105 on April 19 at $4.20.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr7) over 1609m at Hobart beaten 12 m by Magnetic Terror (1:55.00) in No NR on May 3 at $14.20. At the run before 4th (10m Fr3) over 2200m at this track, beaten 6 m by Stepping Stones (2:45.60) in No NR on April 26 at $4.60. Has a strong record at this track and distance so worth another chance.

Last start 6th (Sr3) over 2200m at this track beaten 11 m by Stepping Stones (2:41.50) in No NR on April 12 at $7.50. Two runs back 7th (10m Fr1) over 2698m at this track beaten 6 m by Gordons Bay (3:24.40) in No NR on April 4 at $10. This looks far too tough.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Improved last start with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at Hobart, beaten 1.5 m by Magnetic Terror (1:55.00) in No NR on May 3 at $5.60. One of the key runners.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Sr1) over 1609m at Hobart, beaten 10 m by Magnetic Terror (1:55.00) in No NR on May 3 at $10.80. Showed ability the outing before when she won by 1.0 m (10m Fr1) at this track (2:45.60) beating Rockandahardplace in No NR on April 26 at $9. Capable of playing a major role.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr2) over 2936m at Gloucester Park beaten 10 m by Magnificent Storm (3:36.70) in G1 No NR on April 24 at $8. Showed ability the run before when he won by a head as favourite (30m Fr2) at this track (3:22.40) beating Ray Dan in NR 70 or better on April 4 at $1.09. Rates highly and gets his chance to atone.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third behind Stepping Stones at this track over 2200m in a No NR on April 26 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Magnetic Terror at Hobart over 1609m in a No NR on May 3 at $8. Will be about the money again.
