Nine-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. Was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr10) over 2300m at this track, at the bell was leading 2.13 beaten 3.5 m by Zenith Stride (2:52.40) on September 8 at $10. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into ninth behind Cormoran Strike at this track over 2300m on August 29 at $41. Facing a tough assignment.

Brings the right form to the table. Was well back before the turn; won by a head when driven back in the field, (Fr9) held up early, at this track (1:55.50) beating Ezra Kai in on September 1 at $9.50 at the bell was 8th-18.67. Two runs back was well beaten after breaking at this track on August 22. Not keen.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Cormoran Strike at this track over 1609m on August 22 at $3.70. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Cormoran Strike at this track over 2300m on August 29 at $16. Draws well so worth including.

Improved last start with a solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr8) over 1609m at this track was 5th-10.54 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Cormoran Strike (1:54.50) on August 22 at $12. Could make his presence felt.

Well beaten last start by Cormoran Strike, a rival who he faces again; when 22 metres sixth at this track over 2300m in a race on August 29. This looks a tough test.

Beaten favourite last start when seventh at this track on August 29. Scored the start prior at this track on August 15. Has a strong record at this distance so is a great chance to bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Cormoran Strike at this track over 2300m on August 1 at $2.25. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Cormoran Strike at this track over 2300m on August 29 at $4. Rates highly. Can be right in the thick of things.

Expected Settling Position: Backmarker

First up. At the last run she 8th (Sr4) over 2138m at Albion Park, beaten 85 m by Lovemeto (2:34.60) in LR on July 11 at $126. Won a trial so looks set for a bright return.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
