Last start was well back in the run when 12th (Fr8) over 2536m at this track, beaten 16 m by Minstrel (3:00.80) in No NR on November 28 at $126. At his previous start was driven from back in the field when 12th (Fr8) over 2536m at this track, beaten 22 m by Justcallmemiki (3:05.80) in NR 85 or better on November 14 at $12. The better draw should see him figure prominently.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m fourth behind Minstrel at this track over 2536m No NR last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres third again at this track in G2 No NR on November 14. Should be too good for these.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start 8th (Sr3) over 2536m after racing wide at this track, beaten 11 m by Little Darling (3:03.60) in G1 No NR M on November 21 at $31.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr8) over 2130m at this track beaten 9 m by Golden Lode (2:33.00) in NR 90 or better on November 21 at $3.20. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 7 m win as favourite (Fr7) at this track (3:05.80) beating Gee Heza Sport in NR 85 or better on November 14 at $1.80. Place best.

Capable of better than what we have seen in two runs this prep. Two starts back 8th (Sr1) over 2130m at this track beaten 13 m by Minstrel (2:32.00) in NR 82 or better on October 31 at $17. Has to lift.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr2) at this track (3:03.60) beating Penny Black in G1 No NR M on November 21 at $2.05. Hard to leave out on current form. Worth including.
