Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 9th-15.2 beaten 15 m by Princess Du Fer (1:57.50) on June 2 at $71. Before that 5th (Fr4) over 2125m at Penrith was 6th-9.49 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Last Clansman (2:41.10) on May 25 at $51. Needs to do more. Not keen.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after a quick start, behind Superior Stride at this track over 1609m on May 5 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Princess Du Fer at this track over 1609m on June 2 at $3.50. Fitter again so is one of the primary contenders.

Last start 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten 20 m by Your Majesty (1:54.90) on June 2 at $126. Two runs back ran on from midfield and won by a head (Sr1) at Penrith (2:41.10) beating Lonely Road in on May 25 at $8.50 at the bell was 4th-5.93. May find this tough.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Your Majesty at this track over 2300m on May 26 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second behind Your Majesty at this track over 1609m on June 2 at $34. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 9th-16.26 beaten 16 m by I Am Hellbound (1:56.80) on May 16 at $41. The run previous was well beaten after breaking at this track on May 9. Much better placed so can improve sharply.

Last start 6th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track beaten 23 m by Your Majesty (1:54.90) on June 2 at $51. Two runs back 8th (Fr4) over 2300m at this track beaten 35 m by Your Majesty (2:48.80) on May 26 at $17. Not easy from the big handicap.
