The run before that sat on the speed throughout before fading 9th of 11 at Trentham in the LR Marton Cup on January 3 over 2200m, slow going 19 len behind One Bold Cat with 54.5kg at $13.50. Rates well and definitely worth including in the multiples.

The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 13 at Taupo on December 28 over 2000m, slow going 2.75 len behind What You Wish For carrying 54kg at $9.30. Better than that latest effort and can improve sharply.

Most recently 6th of 8 at New Plymouth Raceway in the G3 Taranaki Cup on January 24 over 1800m, on rain affected going; 14 len behind Knights Realm with 55kg at $20.30. The race before that 4th of 13 at Trentham in the G3 Anniversary Hcp on January 3 over 1600m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Khanshe carrying 53kg at $43.40.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 16 at Trentham on January 31 over 2100m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind The Precursor with 61kg at $18.50. Before that won by 2 len at Wanganui January 10 over 2040m defeating Coulthard carrying 59kg at $6.10. Showed enough last start to suggest he can take this out.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 4th of 7 at Tauherenikau on February 6 over 2050m, slow going 9 len behind Ricochet carrying 60.5kg at $6.50. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 11 at Wanganui on January 10 over 2040m, 3.5 len behind Uncle Arch with 59.5kg at $18.80. Solid top-three prospects.

Second run back. First-up after three months 11th of 15 at Trentham on January 31 over 1600m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Anderson Bridge carrying 59kg at $101.20. Previously second-up ran last of 9 at Waverley on November 14 over 1650m, slow going 14 len behind Khanshe carrying 54kg at $11.60. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up second last in a small field at Otaki on December 26 over 1600m, slow going 7 len behind Bridal Train carrying 54kg at $13.30. Second-up 8th of 15 at Trentham in the G3 Trentham Stakes on January 17 over 2100m, slow going 5 len behind Rosso with 55kg at $88.40. Fitter but happy enough to avoid.

Second-up. First-up after two months 5th of 8 at New Plymouth Raceway on January 24 over 1600m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Bay Express with 59kg at $9.20. Previously second-up settled well back; won by a nose at New Plymouth Raceway September 13 over 1600m in the wet defeating Dance For Her carrying 54.5kg at $17.10. Is a second up winner in the past and is among the genuine chances.

Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 13 at Ellerslie in the LR Gingernuts Salver on January 11 over 2100m, 0.9 len behind Ammirati carrying 57kg at $15.30. The race before that eased back early on 6th of 8 at Arawa Park on December 27 over 1560m, slow going 3.5 len behind Amyer Star carrying 59kg at $10.40. Working up to a win. Leading contender.
