Comes off a ninth in the Port Macquarie Quality, beaten just over four lengths after settling well back and keeping on without threatening. His Canterbury third in a BM72 behind Doradus two back reads better, when he charged home from the rear and was beaten a length and a half. The 2100m win record is the query, but this BM64 looks within reach.

Went close in a Newcastle BM72 over 1900m last start, held up from the 400m to past the 250m before hitting the line to be beaten half a length by Sumac. He had excuses when second last at Illawarra Grange the run prior after beginning slowly and being tightened. Proven at the trip, down to BM64 and profiles as the one to beat.

Has been safely held in two BM72 runs this campaign, most recently second last at Randwick-Kensington after sitting handy and fading, beaten five and a half lengths by Off The Scale. She was unwanted and plain at Canterbury before that, finishing behind Fioprospero. Place claims if she rebounds.

Was second last in a Randwick BM72 on soft ground, beaten six and a half lengths after beginning awkwardly and never getting warm. The prior Canterbury fourth was more encouraging, finishing just over a length away in BM72 company at long odds despite being hampered early. Deep into the prep and has claims in this weaker contest.

Finished last of six in a Class 1 at Kembla Grange over 1600m, beaten three and a half lengths after making an initial move but finding little late. He had been held up before working home fairly for fourth in a Class 1 at Newcastle. First look at 2100m is the question, but he can run into a placing.

Worked home only fairly when fourth in a Newcastle Class 1 last start, beaten five lengths after being sent out at long odds. His Hawkesbury sixth before that was also safely held, with some early interference but no serious threat late. The claim helps, but sharp improvement is required.

Was fifth at Hawkesbury on soft ground last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after being near the top of betting. The better reference is his Newcastle Mdn third two back, where he finished within a length and a half despite interference passing the 300m. Still a maiden, so this is mainly a minor-money profile.

Finished last at Hawkesbury on soft ground, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds with no clear excuse. His Taree seventh before that had a slow beginning but still left him beaten just over four lengths. Others make far stronger appeal.
