Poor performance after settling just behind leaders 53.4L at Hamilton Bm70 1600m. Liked the way it got home into sixth after being in an impossible position 6L at Flemington Bm84 1420m Soft 7. Put writing on the wall in nice return run.

Led, kicked but run down late to just miss a place 1.8L at Kembla Grange Cond Bm68 over 1600m. Lobbed midfield and with a better timed run could have been winning, fifth 0.6L at Canberra Fed Open Bm83 over 1600m Soft 5. Is a first-up winner.

Failed to improve position from behind the leaders throughout, fifth 1L at Caulfield Heath Bm74 over 1200m Soft 6. Leading early but gave in once placed under pressure fifth 4.8L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Bm74 over 1400m Heavy 9.

Always doing the chasing after displaying no early speed 8.5L at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside Bm70 over 1400m Soft 7. One to follow after growing wings late and should be winning soon 0.7L at Caulfield Heath Bm66 over 1500m Soft 6.

Never likely to threaten after positioning midfield in transit 10L at Warrnambool Bm78 1100m Heavy 10. Non-competitive and never gave backers any joy 9.8L at Sandown Hillside Bm74 1400m Heavy 9. Expect improvement on improving deck.

Settled a long way back and grew wings late to just miss out on the major prize 0.5L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside F&M Bm74 over 1600m Soft 7. Disappointing performance when never got warm 4.6L at Flemington F&M Bm90 over 1420m Soft 7. Nicely placed by trainer here.

Had a big task ahead settling well back in the running 9.2L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside 3Y Hcp over 1600m Soft 6. Never in the hunt but last half of the race was best 8L at Flemington 3Y Hcp over 1620m Soft 7.

Really motored home the last part into third 1.6L at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside Bm66 over 1400m Heavy 8. Ran on nicely over the concluding stages to win narrowly 0.1L at Ballarat Bm66 over 1400m Synthetic.

Pounced on the lead on the line but just lost when second 0.1L at Donald Bm66 over 1200m Soft 7. Eye-catching performance to get up to win by the smallest margin 0.1L at Sale Bm62 over 1411m Heavy 8.

Loomed as a threat but content with fourth 1.9L at Ballarat Bm66 over 1400m Soft 6. Chimed in at the right rime for a narrow victory 0.2L at Seymour Bm62 over 1400m Soft 7.

Lobbed midfield and couldn't improve from there to settle on sixth 5.4L at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside Bm70 over 1400m Soft 7. Had a big task ahead settling well back in the running 6.5L at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside Bm74 over 1400m Heavy 9.

Tracked into the race well from a forward position but was no match sixth 2.5L at Caulfield Heath Bm70 Hcp over 1800m. Led narrowly, fought the race out bravely and unlucky to be swamped 1L at Southside Cranbourne Bm70 over 1400m. Has won first-up, consider.

Leading early but gave in once placed under pressure fifth 3.1L at Swan Hill Bm70 over 1600m Soft 6. Never in contention after settling a long way back 8.9L at Ladbrokes Geelong Bm62 over 1733m Heavy 9.

Ran home into fifth but was never a winning hope after getting back 3.6L a Cranbourne F&M Bm62 1400m Soft 6. Flew home late for second and being so well back 0.3L at Bendigo Bm66 1600m. Lightly raced with plenty of upside.

Didn't come into the race after settling midfield 9L at Sale Bm62 over 1746m. Allowed the leaders to get a head start and didn't run on when sixth 6.6L at Donald 0-62 over 2200m.
