Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Barnaby at this track over 2200m in a NR 60 to 69 on April 26 at $81. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Mista Eagle at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 64 to 69 on May 3 at $18.10. Leading contender.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Custom Harley at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 59 to 62 on April 24 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Mista Eagle at Hobart over 2090m in a NR 64 to 69 on May 3 at $8.80. Rates highly. One of the better chances.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Rockandahardplace at this track over 2200m in a NR 60 or better on April 19 at $16. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Barnaby at this track over 2200m in a NR 60 to 69 on April 26 at $19. Top contender based on recent form.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start 6th (Sr2) over 2090m at Hobart beaten 19 m by Custom Harley (2:32.70) in NR 70 to 79 on May 3 at $27.10. Two runs back 5th (Sr2) over 1680m at this track, beaten 11 m by Shes Allaboutluv (2:00.30) in NR 65 to 74 on April 19 at $41. This looks a far sterner test.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Didn't do much last time out, 12th (Sr5) over 2200m at this track, well beaten by Barnaby (2:39.40) in NR 60 to 69 on April 26 at $91. Before that 5th (Sr2) over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 7 m by Hes No Romeo (1:56.70) in NR 60 to 75 on April 1 at $23. Others make more appeal.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
