Levels up a grade but rates well this line-up on latest. Follow up. CLASSIC BUCKO (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (30.70) last time in an A6 at this track.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to be beaten just a nose into second over 500m at this track. The recent effort suggests he is a genuine hope.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 4th over 500m at this track beaten 4 lengths (30.70) behind Clairekeith Ava in an A6 on November 26. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Turned in a solid debut when fifth (31.31) at this track over 500m. Should be much improved on the experience. Likely to find this too tough.
