Under pressure to make ground and not competitive 6.5L at Sha Tin Rating 100 over 1800m. Jumped well, snagged back, keen throughout, plain 7.8L at Flemington Bm84 over 1620m. A winner second-up in the past, must regard.

Encouraging run on pace and second narrowly to First Chorus 0.2L at Caulfield Bm84 1700m. Sat near the pace, flat footed on turn, picked up late 3.2L at Caulfield Bm84 2000m. Month between runs, back to a mile, maps well, main danger.

Got back, no tempo and that made it hard to make ground 2.9L at Morphettville Parks Bm78 over 1568m. Midfield, followed winner into straight, good run 2L at Flemington Bm84 1620m. Gate isn't ideal but he can be one that'll be flashing late.
