Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up slowly away; 5th of 12 at this track Hcp (C1) on December 20 over 1010m, 1.4 len behind Intuitive carrying 61kg at $4.80. Second run from a spell struck interference near 500m; 5th of 8 at Sapphire Coast Hcp (C2) on December 27 over 1200m, slow going 5 len behind Direct Default carrying 59.5kg at $3.80. Genuine contender under these conditions.

Recent form hard to fault. Latest start 3rd of 12 at this track Xmas Fly on December 20 over 1010m, long-neck behind Major Time with 55kg at $101. The start before that 3rd of 8 at Sapphire Coast (Bm66) on November 30 over 1000m, 3 len behind Hard Core with 56kg at $17. Capable of better showing. Respect.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign raced three wide; second last of 7 at Nowra (Bm58) October 18 over 1400m, 7 len behind The Empire with 60.5kg at $13. First up last campaign fourth of 9 at this track Hcp (C2) February 16 over 1200m, soft track; 0.8 len behind Direct Default with 55.5kg at $8. Useful and should go well today.

Recent form impressive for this race. Latest outing slowly away; 3rd of 9 at this track (Bm58) on January 4 over 1010m, in the wet; 0.9 len behind Gorush Lightning with 57.5kg at $21. The run before that won by a head Queanbeyan (Bm58) December 10 over 1000m defeating Nines Enough carrying 55.5kg at $4.50. Rates well after strong run last time.

Before that favourite; won by 3.5 len Sapphire Coast (Bm58) November 30 over 1400m defeating Freaky Freckles carrying 57kg at $5. Will be charging home late and hard to hold out.

Having second run back today. First-up after five months eased back early on 6th of 8 at Sapphire Coast (Bm58) on December 27 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Halliday Road with 57kg at $41. Previously second-up ran last of 14 at this track (Bm58) on June 26 over 1300m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Shrug carrying 57kg at $81. Look for better showing here.

Latest start slowly away; faded in the straight 6th of 9 at this track Hcp (C3) on January 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Kattegat carrying 55kg at $31. The run before that tried to lead throughout but got picked off late 2nd of 8 at Sapphire Coast Hcp (C2) on December 27 over 1200m, slow going 0.5 len behind Direct Default carrying 55kg at $51. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Latest outing 2nd of 7 at Gundagai (Bm50) on January 1 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Danetree Belle carrying 55kg at $15. Before that 6th of 9 at Queanbeyan (Bm50) on December 26 over 900m, 4.5 len behind Tycoon Tily carrying 56kg at $13. Even the minor placings look out of reach.
