Last start 2nd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck by Wamboyneinamerica (1:50.90) on August 29 at $21. Two runs back posted a big 5.5 m win after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Newcastle (1:52.20) beating Lux Aeterna in on August 21 at $5 at the bell was leading 2.58. Draws well but others better.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track beaten 2.25 m by Wamboyneinamerica (1:50.90) on August 29 at $6.50. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 m by Captains Knock (1:49.40) on August 15 at $14. This looks a sterner task.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following August 22 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a neck (Fr5) at this track (1:50.90) beating Kanena Provlima in on August 29 at $34. This race will be harder than that win. Might find this beyond him.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 1 run. Last start won by 1.1 m when quickly away, (Fr4) at this track (1:52.00) beating Smoken Ace in on August 8 at $3.40 at the bell was leading 3.16. This race will be harder than that win. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

At the start before 4th (Fr9) over 2300m at this track, at the bell was 2nd-0.72 beaten 4 m by Glitter Aint Gold (2:40.80) in LR on August 8 at $4. Capable of better so include.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 14 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (2:40.40) beating Huta in on August 22 at $1.33 at the bell was leading 6.88. Two runs back won by 8 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr10) at this track (1:49.40) beating Ripp in on August 15 at $1.65. In fine form and can add to the winning streak.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Resuming after a spell of six months. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into eighth after a quick start, behind Hi Manameisjeff at this track over 1609m in a G2 on March 14 at $1.65. Had strong form last time in and has been trialling well.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
