Resuming sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at Te Rapa on September 13 over 1500m, on a wet track; 0.5 len behind Scaredoheights with 58.5kg at $16.50. Second run from a spell 4th of 9 at Hawera on October 3 over 1600m, on heavy track; 2.75 len behind Flagship carrying 58.5kg at $3.70. First up rating makes him a major player.

Second run back. First-up after four months sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Waverley on September 27 over 1400m, in the wet; 1.75 len behind Porotene Tiger with 58.5kg at $4.70. Previously second-up 2nd of 11 at this track on June 12 over 1600m, in the wet; long-neck behind Bridie carrying 55.5kg at $10.20. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.

At debut, 6th of 9 at Waverley on September 27 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Porotene Tiger with 56.5kg at $19. Expected to improve sharply.

First starter by Raise The Flag out of Mary Sister. Runner-up in a trial at Foxton over 1200m October 13. Inside barrier will assist chances. Prefer to see under race conditions.

This Pure Champion gelding is a four-year-old having his first start. Has had no recent barrier trials. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.

Most recently 3rd of 9 at Waverley on October 18 over 1400m, slow going 2.25 len behind Gambling Girl with 53.5kg at $9.80. The race before that ran second last of 9 at Hawera on October 3 over 1600m, on heavy track; 5 len behind Flagship with 55.5kg at $5.80. Nice effort last time. Strong chance to break though.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last preparation 11th of 13 at Te Aroha July 5 over 1400m, in the wet; 11 len behind Meisai with 56.5kg at $82.10. On debut tenth of 14 at Matamata May 13 over 1400m, soft track; 9 len behind Priovita with 56.5kg at $45.10. Capable of a bold return.

Racing second-up today. Last start ran last of 13 at Arawa Park on October 11 over 1400m, on a slow track; 13 len behind Concurrence with 56.5kg at $100.90.

Last start got back early 11th of 14 at Hastings on October 10 over 1400m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Navy Dreams with 54.5kg at $39.80. The start before that 5th of 13 at Te Rapa on September 25 over 1400m, 3 len behind Bunker Hill carrying 56kg at $4.90. Capable of much better performance.
