Last start 6th of 8 at this track on December 23 over 1500m, 6 len behind Father Christmas carrying 58.5kg at $7. Before that won by a head at this track December 11 over 1600m defeating Guerilla Warfare carrying 58kg at $7. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.

Comes here off a 53-day let-up. Most recently second last in a small field at this track on November 23 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Coppola carrying 60kg at $5.50. Before that 6th of 13 at this track on October 23 over 1600m, 3 len behind Coppola carrying 57.5kg at $6.50. Genuine chance this time around.

Second run back. First-up after four months 4th in a small field at Turffontein Standside on January 1 over 1600m, 2 len behind Merryweather with 54.5kg at $2.30. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Kenilworth on June 1 over 1950m, slow going 1.75 len behind Ahead Of The Facts carrying 55.5kg at $13.50. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Second run back. First-up after four months 7th of 13 at Turffontein Standside on December 16 over 1400m, 4 len behind Storm Ahead carrying 59.5kg at $21. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Greyville All Weather on June 25 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Rooster Bradshaw with 56kg at $5. Needs to do a lot more.

Recent form sound. Last start 3rd of 8 at Turffontein Standside on January 3 over 1600m, 5 len behind Radio Star carrying 58kg at $8. The run before that 4th of 8 at this track on December 23 over 2000m, 2.5 len behind One More Star with 59kg at $17. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd in a small field at Turffontein Standside on January 1 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind Merryweather with 52.5kg at $7. Before that 2nd of 9 at this track on December 18 over 1700m, 2.25 len behind Drumnadrochit carrying 58.5kg at $21. Rates highly after a strong run last time. Overdue and looks a clear danger.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 8 at this track on December 23 over 1500m, 4 len behind Father Christmas with 59.5kg at $3.50. Before that 2nd of 9 at Turffontein Standside on December 7 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Open Highway with 55.5kg at $6. Hasn't been far away since a win four back. Winning hope.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 4th of 8 at Turffontein Standside on December 30 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Mattiazo carrying 61.5kg at $6. The race before that won by a long-neck at this track December 11 over 1600m defeating Ringa Ringa Roses with 54kg at $7. This is well within her grasp.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 13th of 19 at this track on December 20 over 1475m, 8 len behind Wayne carrying 53kg at $26. Second run from a spell 6th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on December 30 over 1400m, 5 len behind Clever Trevor carrying 56kg at $21. This easier than last run and looks suited by the extra ground now. Should be at top and gets chance.

At the latest run 5th of 9 at Turffontein Standside on January 3 over 1400m, 6 len behind Fostinovo carrying 60.5kg at $17. Before that 10th of 12 at Turffontein Standside on December 16 over 1160m, 4 len behind Antonio Gaudi with 55kg at $101. Win doesn't look likely.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 3rd of 7 at this track on November 23 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Speedman with 51kg at $41. Second run from a spell 8th of 13 at Turffontein Standside on December 16 over 1400m, 4 len behind Storm Ahead with 53.5kg at $17. Hard to recommend on recent form.
