Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start posted a big 4 m win (Fr3) at this track (1:50.20) beating Horn Player Lou in OPEN1-2HDC on October 8 at $5.90. Racing in great heart and another win is on the cards.

Seven-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at Dayton Raceway and this track both over 1609m. Last start won by 5 m as favourite (Fr7) at Dayton Raceway (1:49.20) beating Win Lous Or Draw in OPEN on October 3 at $1.50. Recent form hard to fault and is again a strong contender.
