Last start 6th of 11 at Pukekohe on October 29 over 1200m, on heavy track; 1.3 len behind Pollyisacracker with 59kg at $8.30. He is right in this.

Last start 8th of 14 at this track on September 6 over 1100m, slow going 2.5 len behind First Dance with 59kg at $5.90. Well placed. Best form stacks up nicely and deserves another chance.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up from last on the turn 8th of 11 at Cambridge Synthetic on September 24 over 970m, 2.75 len behind Beast Of Burden carrying 54.5kg at $7.80. Second-up 13th of 15 at this track on October 18 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind On The Town with 58kg at $18.40. Not going well enough. Prepared to risk.

Second run from a spell 5th of 10 at Taupo on October 10 over 1100m, slow going 3 len behind Mr Fortrus with 57kg at $25.30. Must improve off a last-start fifth over 1100m at Taupo to feature in the finish.

Third race start. Won on debut won by 1.75 len at Matamata March 23 over 1200m defeating Chur Nibble carrying 56kg at $2.60. Returned from break ran last of 14 at this track on October 18 over 1100m, 12 len behind Charmrose carrying 57kg at $9.30. Still early in the prep and might need more time.

Third-up today. Comes off a 41 day let-up. First-up second last of 10 at this track in the G3 Gold Trail Stakes on September 6 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Lollapalooza with 56.5kg at $27.40. Second-up 3rd of 11 at Cambridge Synthetic on September 24 over 970m, long-neck behind Beast Of Burden carrying 54kg at $5.50. Reaching her peak now and is among the chances.

Second-up. First start sat on the pace before fading second last of 9 at Te Rapa on May 24 over 1100m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Geneva carrying 55kg at $10.60. Returned from break raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at Taupo October 10 over 1000m on a rain affected track defeating Manorbier with 54kg at $4.50. Still has scope for improvement and should be right in the mix.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 7th of 10 at Taupo on October 10 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Mr Fortrus with 56.5kg at $13.40. Last start 9th of 14 at this track on October 25 over 1200m, slow going 4 len behind Power Of Three carrying 57kg at $44.50. Likely to find this out of reach.

Resuming after a break of three-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation tenth of 12 at Te Rapa July 26 over 1200m, in the wet; 4.5 len behind Moneypenny carrying 56kg at $8.30. Previously first up; fifth of 9 at Ruakaka July 12 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 5.5 len behind Fernandez with 56kg at $6.80. Not keen.

At the latest run 8th of 11 at Trentham on October 26 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Kosta with 55.5kg at $8.40. Before that 5th of 12 at Te Rapa on September 27 over 1200m, on a wet track; 3 len behind She's All That with 58.5kg at $7.20. Capable of a big run.

The race before that ran last in a small field at Cambridge Synthetic on July 30 over 1300m, 10 len behind Mars with 54kg at $11.90. Will need further improvement to trouble these.
