Went forward and fought on well for second in the Blue Diamond G1. Led and gave a gallant effort before tiring in the Golden Slipper G1. The colt to beat with the strongest exposed form and proven Group class.

Kicked clear for the easiest of wins after leading Talindert Listed. Led the field giving a great sight but ultimately tired badly sixth at Flemington. Raced too fresh. Second-up now. Should improve sharply off a recent dominant jump-out.

Steward's Comments: Reared at start and and made contact with another runner. Rdr could offer no explanation for the performance. Post race vet exam revealed no abs. Co-Tnr said horse which was resuming raced too keenly and as a result failed to finish race off. Added horse would derive benefit from performance. Tnr to report back.

Brilliant performance to storm home late into second after a slow start at Ballarat. Came from well back with a eye-catching run to win narrowly at Caulfield Vobis Showdown. Revealed his natural talent last campaign and looks value.

Steward's Comments: Rdr stated the colt travelled keenly through the early and middle stages and it took him some distance to be able to shift in to obtain cover, which he achieved near the 600m, however it quickly came under pressure at the entrance to the home straight and was disappointing in the manner in which it failed to close off. A post-race vet exam revealed the colt to be lame (1/5) in the off-foreleg. Tnr rep was told a vet clearance will be required prior to next race/trial. Vet clearance since received.

Nice run to hold second despite winner being too strong late 1.7L Canonbury Group 3 over 1100m. Made no impression after getting back worse than midfield 6.6L Silver Slp Group 2 over 1100m.

Steward's Comments: Soon after the start was bumped. Approaching the 100m made contact with the hindquarter of another runner. A short distance later was eased when placed in restricted room. Rdr reported making the first turn his mnt commenced to lay out, and then hung out from the 500m and, as a consequence, made the home turn awkwardly, and then did not close off the race when under pressure in the straight while continuing to race greenly and hang out. A post-race vet exam revealed no abnormalities. Tnr rep was advised a w.

Steward's Comments: Rdr permitted to ride 0.5kg over allocated weight. Approaching the 900m was inconvenienced. Near the 800m, after being crossed, raced keenly, shifted out and then raced wide and without cover from that point. Laid out rounding the home turn and when under pressure for the majority of the home straight.
