Before that, 5th (Fr3) over 2180m after showing early speed at Stawell was 2nd-3.2 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Major Lincoln (2:46.90) on September 14 at $16. Draws well and is capable of going a lot better.

4-7 Shepparton 06Oct26 2190MS $8,000 NR up to 50 Fr3 Joey Sharp $101, btn 3.6m, wnr Wow You Can Dance 0, 2:00.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced three wide with cover from the start before advancing to obtain the lead approaching the 1600m. Lost its near-side fore plate approaching the 1000m.

Last start 4th (Fr3) over 2190m after racing wide at Shepparton was leading by 3.21 at the bell, beaten 3.5 m by Wow You Can Dance (2:43.80) on October 6 at $101. Before that, 5th (Fr1) over 2180m at Terang beaten 23 m by Yankee Rain (2:40.80) on September 28 at $23. Finds the right race this time.

7-8 Melton 12Aug26 1720MS $5,000 NR up to 43 M Fr6 Kerryn Manning $12, btn 20.6m, wnr Spun Silver 0, 1:57.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Inconvenienced near the 150m when Powerlinc was shifted wider.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Fr6) over 1720m after showing early speed at Melton beaten 20 m by Spun Silver (2:05.30) in M on August 12 at $12. Showed ability the race before when she won by 4 m as favourite (Sr1) at Ballarat (2:06.00) beating Allthewaytoroyalty in on August 5 at $3.70 at the bell was 3rd-7.5m 3WNC. Could bounce back.

8-8 Ballarat 07Oct26 2200MS $4,000 NR up to 39 Sr2 Chris Walsh $71, btn 33.8m, wnr Normandy Nugget 0, 2:02.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Comes here second-up after only six days break. Lacklustre first-up performance when 8th (Sr2) over 2200m at Ballarat beaten 35 m by Normandy Nugget (2:47.00) on October 7 at $71. Unlikely to threaten.

6-6 Horsham 05Oct26 1700MS $5,000 NR up to 40 Fr6 Ellen Tormey $26, btn 60.9m, wnr The Ladybird 0, 1:57.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Tired and finished sixth of six runners, beaten 60.9m.

Didn't do much last time out, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 1700m at Horsham, beaten 60 m by The Ladybird (2:04.30) on October 5 at $26. Before that broke in score up and was out of position at the start 7th (Fr2) over 2180m at Stawell beaten 60 m by Wingate Guy (2:45.50) on September 14 at $101. Must improve sharply.

1-6 Mt Gambier 09Jun26 1780MS $3,500 NR up to 39 Fr4 Mark Phillips $2, won by 5.8m, 2nd Alook To Like 0, 2:01.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Resuming after four-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last preparation recording on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 6 m win as favourite (Fr4) at this track (2:14.80) beating Alook To Like in on June 9 at $2 at the bell was 2nd-1.6m 2WNC. Look for a strong return.
