Third-up today. Resuming 5th of 9 (began awkwardly; crowded early on; lame) at Moonee Valley 3yo+ Mdn on December 4 over 1200m, 3 len behind Sayumi with 59.5kg at $6.50. Last start raced wide without cover; quickly across from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 4th of 11 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo+ Mdn on December 23 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Rising Sphere with 59.5kg at $7.50. Fitter now and making headway every start. Rates well and will take beating.

Facing the starter for the first time. Four-year-old gelding by Lucas Cranach out of Hearst. Trialled recently finishing ninth at a Moe trial over 1200m. Not far away in recent trial but looks safely held.

Racing second-up today. First-up after six months laid out in straight; ran on from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Stony Creek 4yo+ Mdn on December 28 over 1100m, head behind Wild Express carrying 58.5kg at $21. Previously second-up 5th of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn Plate on June 15 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Aswaat with 59.5kg at $61. Unlikely to be contesting the finish here.

Third race start today. When well supported at debut, bounded on jumping and overraced early, middle stages; raced on the pace when 3rd of 12 at Yarra Valley 3yo Mdn on December 18 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Yulong Island with 58kg at $6.50. Second-up settled back, ran on when 5th of 10 (bounded on jumping; overraced early, middle stages; eased near 250m) at Yarra Valley 3yo+ Mdn on December 29 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Judestar with 58kg at $2.30. Promising galloper. Go well here.

Second-up today. First-up after five months slowly away; 3rd of 10 at Yarra Valley 3yo+ Mdn on December 29 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Judestar carrying 58kg at $8.50. Previously second-up second last of 14 at Bendigo 2yo Mdn on July 29 over 1300m, 8 len behind Zeppa carrying 58kg at $31. Improving with racing and looks one of the main dangers.

First race starter. Three-year-old gelding by Lucas Cranach out of Miss Endeavour. Trialled a while ago but out of the placings over 1000m at Moe December 15. Not far away in recent trial but looks safely held.

First race starter by Akeed Mofeed out of Secret Delight. Seen only the once in a public trial August 17 at Hawkesbury when third over 800m. Looking to others for the winner.

Third-up today. Resuming ran last in a small field at this track 3yo (Bm70) on December 5 over 1000m, 6 len behind Written Miss carrying 54kg at $101. Second run from a spell slowly away; second last of 7 at Mornington 3yo+ Mdn on December 15 over 1200m, 3 len behind American Saint carrying 58kg at $16. Hard to have.

Resuming after a four months break. Not seen since running queried; ran last of 8 at Sandown-Hillside 3yo Mdn September 9 over 1600m, 4 len behind Oceanography carrying 55kg at $13. First ever start ran slowly away; second last of 7 at Ballarat Synthetic 2yo Mdn June 30 over 1200m, 4 len behind Impetus carrying 58kg at $31. Likely to play a major role resuming.

First race starter by Tavistock out of Zapurple. This three-year-old gelding hasn't trialled heading into today's race. Profiles well and market will go a long way to showcasing chance.

At debut, 4th of 12 at Yarra Valley 3yo Mdn on December 18 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Yulong Island with 56kg at $7.50. May run into a place with a bit of luck.

Having second run back today. First-up after four months made ground from midfield; 2nd of 11 at Yarra Valley 3yo F Mdn on December 29 over 1200m, 5 len behind Rockstar Dreams with 57kg at $5.50. Previously second-up inconvenienced near 300m; sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 11 at Pakenham Synthetic 3yo+ F&M Mdn on August 31 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Hindaam carrying 55.5kg at $26. Ready for sharp improvement.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign by 2.25 len Newton Abbot August 6 2018 over 3721m defeating Drovers Lane carrying 77kg at $2.40. First up last campaign third of 10 at Lingfield All Weather 4yo+ Hcp (70) March 3 2018 over 2414m, 2.75 len behind Attain carrying 58.5kg at $2.40. Place appears best in this fresh.

At debut, 8th of 11 at Stony Creek 3yo Mdn on December 28 over 1100m, 9 len behind Jackpot Legend with 58kg at $21. This looks too tough.

At debut, keen; with blinkers first time; 10th of 12 at Sale 4yo+ Mdn on January 3 over 1110m, slow going 9 len behind Harpers Bight with 59.5kg at $15. Can improve but needs to.
