Getting off the mark on debut; won by 0.9 len at Tauranga January 8 over 1200m in soft going defeating Deep Pursuit carrying 58.5kg at $6.10. Will take a lot from that hitout and is a key runner.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Taupo on December 28 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Written Glow with 57kg at $12.70. Last start won by 0.9 len at this track January 16 over 1100m on a soft track defeating Portland with 57kg at $6.10. Progressing nicely and can win again.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.75 len at Te Aroha January 3 over 1150m on a heavy track defeating Wind Seeker with 54.5kg at $3.40. The run before that 8th of 10 at Ellerslie on December 11 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Miss Jones carrying 54.5kg at $16.60. Harder here but can feature in the finish.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last campaign 11th of 13 at Ellerslie September 6 over 1200m, soft track; 5.5 len behind Have A Crack carrying 57kg at $23.40. On debut second last of 13 at Ruakaka June 28 over 1200m, soft track; 8 len behind Free Bird carrying 56.5kg at $15.30. Likely to return in better shape this time in work so keep him in mind.

Back after a long spell. Only had one start last campaign second last of 9 at this track Maat on February 8 over 1200m, on a slow track; 30 len behind One More Dance with 57kg at $50.30.
