Resuming after a spell of 11 weeks. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into sixth behind Rakero Blaze at this track over 2300m on March 27 at $6. Previous preparation first-up posted a big 7 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Goulburn (2:07.80) beating Donnie Gal in on September 2 at $1.95. Rates highly. Trialling strongly and the strike rate here is impressive.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 5.5 m win as favourite (Fr9) at this track (1:54.90) beating Chief Runningcloud in on June 2 at $2.50 at the bell was leading 0.56. Hard to leave out on current form. Another strong performance expected.

Comes here in the right form. Won by a head as favourite (Fr3) at this track (1:53.30) beating Constantinople in on May 23 at $3.30 at the bell was 2nd-1.85. Two runs back won by 3 m when driven back in the field, (Fr9) held up early, at this track (1:56.80) beating Courage Stride in on May 16 at $4.20 at the bell was 8th-13.92. Can add to the winning streak.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 2300m at this track was 6th-12.6 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Speedy Lover (2:46.10) on June 6 at $19. Before that surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track beaten 45 m by I Am Hellbound (1:53.30) on May 23 at $26. Improvement needed.

Expected Settling Position: Backmarker
