Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 in a Bm56 at Tatura on September 7 over 1450m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Kokonda carrying 62kg at $4.80. Rates highly today can run a much improved race.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of five months. Finished off last campaign second last of 9 at Stawell Bm56 May 18 over 1300m, on heavy track; 12 len behind Princess Mess with 58kg at $31. Previously first up; eighth of 11 at Horsham 0-62 April 27 over 1100m, 6 len behind Tangoette carrying 60kg at $4.20. Anticipating him to hit the ground running this campaign.

Second run back. First-up after four months ran second last of 8 in a F&M Bm62 at Bendigo on September 20 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Iced Poppy carrying 60kg at $19. Previously second-up ran second last of 11 in a Bm62 at Ballarat on April 30 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Documentary with 58.5kg at $21. Is a second up winner in the past and is among the genuine chances.

Second-up. First-up after five months raced on the pace before fading ran second last of 8 in a Bm66 at Mt Gambier on September 20 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Min Kiata with 56kg at $9. Previously second-up eased back early on 4th of 8 in a Cl1 at Penola on April 5 over 1300m, 2.5 len behind Tenterk with 60kg at $3.60. Looking elsewhere for the winner.

At the latest run 4th of 13 in a Bm62 at Swan Hill on September 22 over 1300m, 4 len behind Royal Infantry with 57kg at $17. The race before that won by a neck in a 0 - 56 at Warracknabeal on August 29 over 1200m defeating Artpark with 58kg at $7. Has a challenge with the wide draw and big weight, but suited in this company.

Resuming after a break of five-and-a-half months. Finished off last preparation fourth of 12 at Strathalbyn 0-56 April 29 over 1600m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Carashan Chloe with 60kg at $4.20. First up last campaign third of 8 at Morphettville 3yo+ Mdn-Sw February 7 over 1100m, 1.3 len behind Gazz carrying 58kg at $6. Unlikely to trouble the top few at this stage of the prep.

Last start 10th of 12 in a 0 - 62 at Mornington on September 17 over 1200m, 7 len behind Oceanella carrying 55.5kg at $61.

Hard to make a case.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation eighth of 11 at Donald 0 - 56 July 11 over 1206m, on rain affected going; 8 len behind Colt Forty Five carrying 60kg at $5.50. First up last campaign fourth of 11 at Echuca 0 - 56 May 23 over 1109m, soft track; 1.5 len behind Densetsu carrying 60kg at $12. SCRATCHED

Last start made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 11 in a Bm56 at Hamilton on September 14 over 1400m, slow going 3.5 len behind Racey Casey carrying 58.5kg at $20. The race before that 5th of 9 in a F&M Bm56 at Ballarat Synthetic on August 31 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Love Symbol with 61kg at $31. Can improve enough to take this out.

First-up. Finished off last preparation seventh of 12 at Bendigo Bm62 July 5 over 1300m, on heavy track; 9 len behind Magnetic Chess with 56kg at $10. Previously first up; seventh of 9 at Echuca Mdn-Sw May 23 over 1109m, soft track; 3.5 len behind Artbeat carrying 55.5kg at $31. May need the run.

Second-up. First-up after five months won by 0.7 len in a Mdn-Sw at Jerilderie on September 26 over 1000m defeating Nano Bubbles with 55kg at $2.10. Previously second-up 10th of 12 in a 2yo Mdn-Sw at Pakenham on April 23 over 1000m, 6 len behind Ladhar carrying 56kg at $20. Fitter but tougher here and looks safely held.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of six months. Finished off last preparation eighth of 10 at Swan Hill Bm62 April 21 over 1300m, 6 len behind Where's My Sock with 57kg at $31. Previous preparation first-up won by neck Donald Bm56 December 2 over 1350m defeating Where's Poppy with 62kg at $5. Two of his three wins have been first-up, so don't dismiss.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run made ground from midfield; 3rd of 11 in a Bm66 at Coleraine on September 25 over 1300m, 1.1 len behind Thinking Sensation with 54kg at $21. The start before that 2nd of 11 in a 0 - 56 at Donald on September 12 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Brutal World with 58.5kg at $14. Strong top-three hope.

The run before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 in a 0 - 56 at Warracknabeal on August 29 over 1000m, 0.6 len behind Simply Luscious with 56kg at $9.50. Better than the last start suggests.
