Mediocre effort last start but is capable of better.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Only one run when 10th of 12 at Ascot Park on April 19 over 1400m, in the wet; 14 len behind Spritzer carrying 56kg at $21.90. Will struggle against these.

At debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 11 at Ascot Park on October 22 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Jock's Way with 56.5kg at $13.40. Can go on with it.

Third-up today. Resuming 5th of 13 at Wingatui on October 2 over 1200m, in the wet; 1.0 len behind My Girl Alice carrying 52.5kg at $8.50. Second run from a spell 4th of 10 at Gore on October 16 over 1200m, on a wet track; 5.5 len behind Sheza Quetee with 52.5kg at $2. Anticipating a big run.

Second run back. First-up after three months 4th of 11 at Ascot Park on October 22 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Jock's Way carrying 52.5kg at $6.10. Previously second-up 10th of 14 at Oamaru on July 19 over 1400m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Rockman carrying 56.5kg at $7.10. Likely to measure up again with a repeat performance.

Third race start. First start ran second last of 14 at Ashburton on April 2 over 1400m, slow going 19 len behind Graffiti Artist carrying 55kg at $20.70. Returned from break ran second last of 11 at Ascot Park on October 22 over 1200m, slow going 8 len behind Capulet carrying 56.5kg at $38.80. Unlikely to threaten.

This Ancient Spirit mare is a four-year-old having her first start. Has had no recent barrier trials. The betting is the best pointer to her chances.

Second-up. First start 6th of 9 in the LR Cjc Champagne Stakes at Riccarton Park on May 2 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Zafar with 55kg at $55.20.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 6th of 9 at Phar Lap Racecourse on September 23 over 1200m, slow going 5.5 len behind On Piste carrying 54kg at $12.40. Last start 7th of 10 at Gore on October 16 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 9 len behind Sheza Quetee with 54kg at $11.20. Open to plenty of improvement and might sneak into the top three.
