The run before that got back early 7th of 9 at Trentham in the G3 Thompson Handicap on October 26 over 1600m, slow going 13 len behind Hi Yo Sass Bomb with 55kg at $19.20. Tried hard over a mile on Wednesday, and can do better over this shorter trip.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at this track in the LR Pegasus Hcp on November 8 over 1000m, 5 len behind Platinum Attack with 56.5kg at $7.30. The run before that 2nd of 12 at Ashburton on October 11 over 1200m, neck behind Spot On Time carrying 54kg at $7.10. Going well. Rates highly and is among the chances.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Wingatui on November 4 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Inflamed carrying 54kg at $3.70. The run before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 9 at Wingatui on October 17 over 1400m, on rain affected going; head behind Sestina carrying 56.5kg at $4.80. Overdue for a win and could sneak a place.

Third-up today. Resuming 7th of 13 at Phar Lap Racecourse on October 9 over 1200m, slow going 2.5 len behind Enterprise carrying 59kg at $15.90. Second run from a spell crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 2nd of 12 at this track on October 25 over 1400m, nose behind Spot On Time carrying 54kg at $58.10. Must be included.

Last start 9th of 14 at this track in the G3 Canterbury Breeders Stakes on November 8 over 1400m, 4 len behind Captured By Love with 55kg at $8.50. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at this track on October 25 over 1400m, neck behind Spot On Time carrying 54kg at $16.50. Will prove very tough to beat.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 14 at this track in the G3 Canterbury Breeders Stakes on November 8 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Captured By Love with 55kg at $26.10. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at Ashburton October 31 over 1400m in soft going defeating Lord Weyburn carrying 57kg at $5.10. Rates highly and can break back.

The run before that 10th of 13 at Phar Lap Racecourse on October 9 over 1200m, slow going 9 len behind Graeme John carrying 56kg at $18.40. Worth including.

The race before that sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 12 at Ashburton on October 11 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Elusive Impact with 58kg at $11.80. Rates highly on best efforts and can do better this time.

Most recently sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 11 at Tauherenikau on November 1 over 1600m, slow going long-neck behind Sheez Dominant carrying 58.5kg at $7.10.
