Last start 2nd of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Murtoa on August 21 over 1600m, in the wet; 4 len behind Rebel's Idol with 59.5kg at $20. The run before that 5th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Casterton on August 9 over 1400m, on a slow track; 8 len behind The Cable Guy carrying 69.5kg at $19. Better effort last start, but still beaten a fair way.

Second run back. First-up after eight months 7th of 14 in a Mdn-Sw at Seymour on August 7 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Misty Whisper carrying 59.5kg at $21. Previously second-up 9th of 12 in a Cl3-Sw at Ballarat on December 6 over 1400m, slow going 5.5 len behind Shystar carrying 56.5kg at $51. Good second-up performer who is likely to improve following that run and looks hard to beat.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd in a small field in a Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on August 12 over 1600m, on rain affected going; long-neck behind Valda Warrior with 59.5kg at $14. Before that 4th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Murtoa on July 25 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.1 len behind Ragazzone with 59.5kg at $3.40. Been consistent all prep and gets his chance to break through.

Was at big odds at debut, ran second last of 12 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on July 30 over 1300m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Angland Lass carrying 58kg at $31. Doubt he will trouble these.

At the latest run 4th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Murtoa on August 21 over 1600m, in the wet; 6 len behind Rebel's Idol with 59.5kg at $2.30. The start before that faded in the straight 9th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Mildura on July 17 over 2000m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Hexed with 59.5kg at $10. Capable of sharp improvement.

Most recently set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on August 15 over 1600m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Cute Girl carrying 57.5kg at $4.20. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 in a Mdn-Hwgt at Coleraine on July 19 over 1600m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Flying Shelby carrying 67.5kg at $4.60. Right in the mix.

Last start 6th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 11 over 1500m, 10 len behind Quick Finish with 57.5kg at $7.50. The race before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Swan Hill on July 28 over 1600m, slow going 0.5 len behind Wazza carrying 57.5kg at $21. Go off the good run two starts back.

Most recently 3rd of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Mildura on August 8 over 1400m, 4 len behind Brazen Warrior carrying 57.5kg at $15. The run before that 11th of 14 in a Mdn-Sw at Swan Hill on July 28 over 1300m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Budjik Queen carrying 57.5kg at $51. Ready for this trip after an improved run last start.

Last start 6th of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on August 15 over 1600m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Cute Girl with 57.5kg at $101. The race before that got back early 7th of 13 in a Mdn-Sw at Wangaratta on July 31 over 1400m, on a wet track; 14 len behind Narilao carrying 57.5kg at $81. Better for the three runs to date and draws well, but does need to lift.

At the latest run ran second last of 7 in a Mdn-Sw at Warrnambool on August 20 over 1700m, on a wet track; 6 len behind Hill Cry carrying 57.5kg at $17. The run before that 6th of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Murtoa on July 25 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Atella Miss with 57.5kg at $41. Prefer to see her back in form.

Three-year-old gelding (Satono Aladdin - Coyote Miss) who was bought for NZD $ 50,000 (NZB 2025 Karaka - Book 1). He has five recent trials prior to his debut today. Finished fourth in a Pakenham Synthetic jump-out on August 4. Looks a capable type who should be competitive.

First starter by Staphanos out of Pressera. Has a total of two trials prior to his debut today. SCRATCHED

Last start ran second last of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Murtoa on August 21 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 14 len behind Rebel's Idol carrying 57.5kg at $19. Before that 7th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Murtoa on July 25 over 1600m, slow going 4 len behind Ragazzone with 57.5kg at $9.50. Struggling to make a case.

At the latest run sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 in a Mdn-Sw at Hamilton on August 1 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 15 len behind Boss Boy with 57.5kg at $61. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily ran second last of 7 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Mildura on July 18 over 1200m, 8 len behind Blackjack with 56kg at $21. Looks tested against this line-up.

Third race start today. At debut, 6th of 10 in a 2yo+ Mdn-Sw at Sandown-Lakeside on July 8 over 1200m, on heavy track; 7 len behind Here's Matilda carrying 59.5kg at $15. Last start raced on the pace when 2nd of 8 in a Mdn-Sw at Geelong on August 14 over 1425m, in the wet; nose behind Talkin' Stern carrying 59.5kg at $13. Big improver last start, fitter and no tougher here.
