Second-up 7th of 15 at Riccarton Park on September 26 over 1400m, slow going 5 len behind Sheza Professional with 55.5kg at $53.10. Will be hard to beat.

Returns from a 51-day let-up. Most recently 6th of 9 at Oamaru on August 14 over 2200m, on rain affected going; 4.5 len behind Overheated carrying 58.5kg at $8.40. The run before that 8th of 14 at Oamaru on July 19 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Rockman with 58.5kg at $21.60. Expect he will be prominent.

Third race start. First start ran second last of 12 at this track on November 19 over 1200m, 6 len behind Whirlpool with 58.5kg at $29.20. Went for a break before returning raced on the pace before fading ran last of 10 at this track on September 23 over 1200m, slow going 14 len behind Midnight Oak with 58.5kg at $41.20. Not keen.

The run before that raced behind the speed prior to fading ran second last of 8 at Riccarton Park Synthetic on August 26 over 1600m, 8 len behind Zambrosia with 56.5kg at $5.20. Ready to peak after three runs back and is sure to be thereabouts.

At the latest run got back early 8th of 14 at this track on September 23 over 1600m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Tulsa Turnaround with 54kg at $10.70. Before that came from midfield; 2nd of 12 at this track on September 6 over 1600m, slow going 4.5 len behind Sailor Sam carrying 55.5kg at $12.90. Can atone.

Raced two times to date. At big odds at debut, 7th of 12 at this track on September 6 over 1600m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Sailor Sam carrying 54.5kg at $44.60. Last start 4th of 14 at this track on September 23 over 1600m, slow going 1.75 len behind Tulsa Turnaround with 54.5kg at $55.90. No easier this time and others rate better.

Second run back. First-up after four months 4th of 13 at Riccarton Park on September 12 over 1200m, in the wet; 1.2 len behind Go Thea carrying 56.5kg at $23.10. Previously second-up ran second last of 13 at Ellerslie on April 27 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Durrani carrying 55.5kg at $55.30. Won't be far away with a repeat of that latest performance.

At the latest run 11th of 15 at Riccarton Park on September 26 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Sheza Professional carrying 56.5kg at $81.10. The race before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 14 at this track on September 23 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Tulsa Turnaround with 56.5kg at $7.70. Certainly worth another chance.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, faded in the straight 6th of 8 at Riccarton Park Synthetic on September 10 over 1400m, 6 len behind Stortford Lodge with 56.5kg at $11.30. Second-up 8th of 10 at this track on September 23 over 1200m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Midnight Oak carrying 56.5kg at $25. Hasn't done much to inspire.

Second run back. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after nearly two years 6th of 13 at Riccarton Park on August 29 over 1200m, on a wet track; 4 len behind Recital carrying 56.5kg at $51.90. Previously second-up 11th of 14 at this track on November 21 2024 over 1600m, slow going 5 len behind Gatzby with 58.5kg at $37.60. Looking to others.

First-up. Finished off last campaign eighth of 12 at Oamaru June 14 over 1600m, soft track; 7 len behind Later Boy with 56.5kg at $14.30. Previously first up; 11th of 16 at Riccarton Park May 2 over 1200m, soft track; 7 len behind Full Cream carrying 56.5kg at $35.80. Prefer to see how she returns.

Dual acceptor. Last start raced on the speed throughout before fading 9th of 12 at this track on September 6 over 1600m, on a slow track; 14 len behind Sailor Sam carrying 58.5kg at $31.60. Before that failed to make an impression; ran last of 8 at Oamaru on August 14 over 1600m, on a wet track; 9 len behind Sebastiano carrying 58.5kg at $6.60. Others make much more appeal.
