Settled midfield and tried gallantly to make ground 1.8L at Caulfield Bm80 Grand Hcp over 1700m. Ridden just off the speed and produced best late to finish runner-up 0.5L at The Valley Bm70 over 2040m.

Ran on ok late for fifth but ultimately too far back to challenge 5.1L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Bm74 over 2400m Soft 5. Made up a stack of ground from worse than midfield for a top third 1.7L at Sale Bm64 over 2238m Soft 7.

Running on well into fourth from midfield in a grinding effort 1.9L at The Valley Bm66 over 1600m. Restrained back to midfield always under the pump to run on 6.6L at Ladbrokes Geelong Bm70 over 1700m Soft 7.

Terrific run late finishing fourth when positioning a long way back in the race 7.3L at Sale Bm66 over 2200m Soft 7. One-paced to the line and always well back 14.8L at Flemington Bm96 over 2800m Soft 5. Should find this easier.

Pressed to make a move but failed to make any impression on rivals 5.6L at Murtoa Bm66 over 1600m. Could only battle the race out for fourth after holding that position in-running 3.7L at Mornington Bm66 over 2000m.

Gave a great sight out in front but was run down for third 1.2L at The Valley Bm70 over 2040m. Stalked the leaders however disappointed in a one-paced effort 13L at Flemington F&M Bm70 over 1700m.

Beaten for speed and never came into contention 5.5L at Southside Pakenham Bm66 over 1600m Soft 5. Had no pace early but once balanced up ran on well for fifth 2.8L at Flemington F&M Bm70 over 1700m.

Had to dig deep but made up ground well to win 0.3L at Moe Bm52 over 2069m Heavy 10. Never in contention after settling a long way back 13.7L at Albury Bm58 over 2000m. Second-up.
