Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 10 m as favourite (Fr5) at Rangiora (2:30.50) beating Waihemo Hannah in 3yo+ on November 20 at $2.60. Winning prospects.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 4.5 m finishing fifth behind The Royal Gamble at this track over 2600m in a 3yo+ on August 22 at $3.40. Sure to play a major role.

Well beaten last start by Rachmaninov, who he meets again; when 35 metres fifth at Motukarara Raceway over 2170m in a 3yo+ race on November 23. This looks far too tough.

Last start 6th (Fr8) over 1900m at Kaikoura beaten 60 m by Midnight Diamond (2:18.90) in 4yo+ M on November 2 at $52.10. Before that, 8th (Fr7) over 2200m at Ascot Park Raceway, beaten 55 m by Princess Sadie (2:50.00) in 4yo+ M on October 16 at $42.20. Certainly up to this and expected to do much better.
