Second run back. First-up after eight months 2nd of 9 at Wingatui on November 4 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Inflamed carrying 60kg at $38. Previously second-up ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 0.8 len at this track December 1 over 2030m defeating Jon Ol Rocco with 57kg at $13.70. Good return but others rate better.

At the latest run 2nd of 12 at Riccarton Park on November 15 over 1400m, on a wet track; 2.5 len behind Toa Haka carrying 54.5kg at $9.60. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at Riccarton Park in the LR Pegasus Hcp on November 8 over 1000m, 5 len behind Platinum Attack with 56.5kg at $7.30. Hard to beat on that latest effort.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of four months. Finished off last campaign fifth of 11 at Riccarton Park August 9 over 1800m, in the wet; 5.5 len behind He's Tunza Grunt with 55kg at $10.60. When resuming last campaign seventh of 11 at Ashburton December 18 over 1300m, 4 len behind Zoulander carrying 54kg at $23.90. Looks all set for a effective return.

At the latest run 5th of 12 at Riccarton Park on November 15 over 1400m, on a wet track; 4 len behind Toa Haka with 52kg at $10.80. The race before that sat on 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. Can bounce back.

Dual acceptor. At the latest run 3rd of 13 at Riccarton Park on November 8 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Toa Haka with 60kg at $61.50. The race before that second last of 12 at Riccarton Park on October 25 over 1400m, 15 len behind Spot On Time with 54kg at $45.80. Close to a win. Cannot be disregarded.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming 7th of 12 at Ashburton on October 11 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Spot On Time with 54kg at $30.50. Second run from a spell got back early 7th of 9 at Wingatui on November 4 over 1400m, 7 len behind Inflamed carrying 54kg at $14.20. Doubt she will trouble these.

Drove through late to finish runner-up on the first day. Strips fitter and expected to figure prominently.

Had a tough trip on the first day and weakened out of it. He is hard to catch, but can pop up when least expected. Tricky assignment.

Dual acceptor. At the latest run faded in the straight 7th of 15 at Riccarton Park on November 15 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Island Hop carrying 54kg at $30.70. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 13 at Wingatui on November 4 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Loose Sally carrying 55.5kg at $12.70. Better than the last run suggests.

Led and tried hard when finishing third on the first day, and before that he was 10th of 14 at Wingatui on November 4 over 1200m, 6 len behind Jessie Jay carrying 57kg at $33.10. Looks tested in this line-up.
