Second-up. First-up after three months held ground to the line 2nd of 11 in a Mcc Heat (Qc) at Geelong on October 21 over 1500m, head behind Sulek with 60.5kg at $19. Previously second-up won by 1.0 len in a Cg&E Bm66 at Caulfield Heath on May 27 over 1500m on a rain affected track defeating Dantooine with 60.5kg at $4.60. Fitter now and warrants respect with Lane on.

Second run back. First-up after six months ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len in a Bm70 at Hamilton on October 10 over 1600m on a soft track defeating Blazing Sword carrying 60.5kg at $21. Previously second-up made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 in a Mdn Hdle-Sw at Hamilton on April 7 over 3200m, slow going 1.3 len behind Eye For An Eye with 69.5kg at $8. This might prove too tough.

At the latest run ran on from midfield; 3rd of 14 in a Bm78 at Bendigo on October 28 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Bel Mezyaan carrying 58.5kg at $17. The start before that 11th of 14 in a Bm78 at Sandown-Hillside on September 9 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Buccleuch carrying 59kg at $21. In the each way mix off last start.

Second run back. First-up after five months favourite; won by a long-neck in a Bm78 at Bendigo on October 28 over 1400m defeating Rosa Aotearoa carrying 55.5kg at $2.90. Previously second-up favourite; won by 2.75 len in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat on February 14 over 1200m defeating Incontestable carrying 59kg at $1.70. Tough win fresh and should improve again to a mile.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 13 in a Bm78 at Caulfield on October 14 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Sweethearted carrying 58kg at $12. Second run from a spell sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 14 in a Bm78 at Bendigo on October 28 over 1400m, long-neck behind Bel Mezyaan carrying 57.5kg at $4.40. Racing well, 1600m looks okay off last time.

Last start ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len in a Bm66 at Ballarat on October 9 over 1600m defeating Aka Daka with 60.5kg at $10. The run before that won by a nose in a Bm62 at Warrnambool on August 20 over 1400m on a heavy track defeating Terralight carrying 60.5kg at $5.50. Going well but prepared to risk this time.

At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 13 in a Bm70 at Hamilton on October 10 over 1600m, slow going 1.75 len behind Rich Champagne with 61kg at $10. The start before that ran second last in a small field in a Bm82 at Corowa on September 14 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Triptolemus with 62.5kg at $3.50. Looking elsewhere.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by a long-neck in a Bm70 at Seymour on October 11 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Flying Mikki with 58.5kg at $13. Before that won by a long-neck in a Bm62 at Sale on August 21 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Earthing with 60.5kg at $2.45. Jumps in distance and faces a tougher assignment this time but you can't knock winning form.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 in a Bm66 at Ballarat on September 30 over 1200m, 3 len behind Aurora Belle with 60.5kg at $3.20. Last start ran on from midfield and won by a head in a Mcc Heat (Qc) at Geelong on October 21 over 1500m defeating Yam with 54.5kg at $4.40. Profiles nicely. Strong win last time and will be hard to hold out.

At the latest run from last on the turn 5th of 9 in a Bm70 at Sale on October 25 over 1400m, on heavy track; 2 len behind Kahhof with 60.5kg at $8.50. The race before that 2nd of 13 in a Bm70 at Seymour on October 11 over 1400m, slow going long-neck behind Lofty Thoughts carrying 60.5kg at $21. Going okay but place best.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 in a Bm70 at Horsham on October 18 over 1400m, head behind Naraghi carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 9 in a Cl1 at Bendigo on September 20 over 1300m, 1.0 len behind Bella Verona with 61kg at $6.50. Near miss last start. Rough hope at best.

Second run back. First-up after six months raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a head in a Bm70 at Horsham on October 18 over 1400m defeating Endless Summer carrying 57kg at $26. Previously second-up won by 1.5 len in a Mdn-Sw at Wangaratta on February 28 over 1590m defeating Kings Domain with 57kg at $5.50. Other lead ups stronger.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes here off a 32-day let-up. Last start favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len in a Bm66 at Bendigo on October 4 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Koyuga Rip carrying 59kg at $2.60. The race before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len in a Bm66 at Bendigo on September 20 over 1400m defeating Shaalute carrying 57kg at $2.50. Well placed. Flying and sets up very well, go close.

Recent form sound. Most recently made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 in a Bm70 at Sale on October 25 over 1400m, on rain affected going; long-neck behind Kahhof with 58.5kg at $2.90. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 13 in a Bm70 at Seymour on October 11 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.9 len behind Lofty Thoughts with 58.5kg at $2.45. Profiles well, just needs some luck from out there.

Last start 9th of 11 in a Mcc Heat (Qc) at Geelong on October 21 over 1500m, 5.5 len behind Sulek carrying 54kg at $31. The run before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 11 in a Bm66 at Ballarat on October 9 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Big Rooster carrying 59kg at $16. Looks tested despite the low draw.

Returns from a 32-day let-up. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 12 in a Bm66 at Bendigo on October 4 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Our Justify carrying 56kg at $8.50. The start before that won by 1.5 len in a Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on September 20 over 1600m defeating King Winston carrying 59.5kg at $4. This is a tough assignment.

At the latest run 6th of 11 in a Mcc Heat (Qc) at Geelong on October 21 over 1500m, 5 len behind Sulek with 55kg at $13. The start before that 3rd of 12 in a Bm66 at Bendigo on October 4 over 1600m, slow going 1.4 len behind Our Justify carrying 61kg at $6.50. Rough chance at best.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 9 in a Bm70 at Sale on October 25 over 1400m, on heavy track; 1.5 len behind Kahhof carrying 56kg at $3.70. Before that won by 3 len in a Mdn-Sw at Geelong on October 7 over 1447m in soft going defeating Silky Seth with 59.5kg at $1.75. Progressive sort who can run well up to this trip.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 5th of 13 in a Bm70 at Seymour on October 11 over 1400m, slow going 2.5 len behind Lofty Thoughts carrying 60kg at $31. Second run from a spell 12th of 14 in a Bm78 at Bendigo on October 28 over 1400m, 9 len behind Bel Mezyaan carrying 58kg at $13. Hard to enthuse.
