Previously second-up 8th of 11 at Te Rapa on August 9 over 1300m, on a wet track; 4.5 len behind Rocking carrying 58.5kg at $11.60. Another forward showing is likely.

On debut 11th of 13 at Matamata April 17 over 1400m, soft track; 11 len behind Urlar carrying 58kg at $38.90. Plenty of more attractive propositions in this race.

Mark Walker & Sam Bergerson trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Won a recent trial at Avondale. Expected to be in the finish.

Was well-supported at debut, 5th of 7 at Woodville on November 2 over 1600m, slow going 1.75 len behind Empirical carrying 57.5kg at $3.30. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Will be there at the business end.
