Third-up today. Resuming won by 0.5 len (inconvenienced early on; became unbalanced) Hawkesbury 4yo+ (Bm64) December 6 over 1300m defeating Roman Wolf with 59kg at $4.50. Second run from a spell won by a head Newcastle E&G (Bm64) December 26 over 1350m defeating Surjin with 61kg at $6. Forward showing expected. Go close.

Having second run back today. First-up after five months raced wide without cover; quickly across from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 5th of 13 at Wyong E&G (Bm64) on January 2 over 1350m, on a wet track; 3.5 len behind Sky Lab with 60.5kg at $9. Previously second-up won by 1.3 len (began awkwardly) Taree Open Hcp March 13 over 1600m slow going defeating Time Raid carrying 57.5kg at $3.50. Further improved. Expected to go close.

Resuming after a four months break. Finished off last preparation began awkwardly and crowded near 300m; second last of 8 at Bathurst Bathurst Cup September 27 over 1800m, soft track; 7 len behind Pecuniary Interest with 59.5kg at $4.50. Previously first up; taken back from wide barrier and wide throughout; fourth of 11 at this track 3yo+ E&G (Bm70) June 8 over 1300m, in the wet; 11 len behind Frosty Rocks carrying 60.5kg at $6.50. Returning from a break in a winnable race.

Useful entire. Latest start taken back from wide barrier and wide throughout; 8th of 11 at this track 3yo+ (Bm72) on December 23 over 1300m, slow going 4.5 len behind Brutality carrying 59.5kg at $12. The run before that eased near 1000m and keen; 4th of 8 at Canterbury 3yo+ (Bm72) on December 11 over 1250m, 2.25 len behind Smart Image with 60kg at $6. Drawn a nice alley and rates highly here.

Recent form hard to fault. Latest start held up near turn; 4th of 10 at Wagga Open Hcp on December 24 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Upper House with 56kg at $4.50. The start before that won by 0.8 len (held up near turn) Orange Open Hcp December 14 over 1400m defeating Caszar with 55kg at $2.60. Thereabouts lately and shouldn't be far away.

Latest start ran last of 11 at Randwick 3yo+ E&G (Bm78) on December 26 over 1200m, slow going 13 len behind All Time Legend carrying 54kg at $31. The start before that 7th of 11 (overraced early stages; wide throughout; shifted out concluding stages) at Randwick Kensington 3yo+ E&G (Bm72) on December 4 over 1400m, 2 len behind Bergen with 58kg at $8. Can bounce back here. Among the top chances.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign seventh of 14 at Newcastle (Bm64) July 4 over 1880m, 8 len behind Somnus with 59.5kg at $41. First up last campaign slowly away; ran last of 10 at this track 3yo+ (Bm78) April 13 over 1400m, on heavy track; 15 len behind Surreal Step carrying 57kg at $101. Other runners rate better and would prefer the place.

Latest start 10th of 15 at Newcastle E&G (Bm64) on December 26 over 1350m, 4.5 len behind Awesome Lad carrying 59.5kg at $31. Before that won by a head Mudgee Hcp (C1) December 4 over 1400m defeating The Drover carrying 60kg at $5. Can improve on recent efforts. Each way hope.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up overraced middle stages; raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 11 at Randwick Kensington 3yo+ E&G (Bm72) on December 4 over 1400m, 8 len behind Bergen carrying 56kg at $67. Second-up wide throughout; second last of 14 at Moruya Xmas Cup on December 20 over 1300m, 4.5 len behind Whisky'n'diamonds carrying 57.5kg at $31. Draw no help to chances.

Second-up today.

Previously second-up raced greenly; 4th of 8 at Newcastle 4yo+ Mdn on December 8 2018 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Madame Bonser carrying 56kg at $21. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.

Having second run back today. Fresh up after five months slowly away and tightened for room; 3rd of 14 at Moruya Xmas Cup on December 20 over 1300m, 0.5 len behind Whisky'n'diamonds with 55kg at $26. Previously second-up 3rd of 12 at Goulburn Nowra Cup on May 24 over 1600m, on a wet track; 2 len behind Balansa carrying 55kg at $21. Improving with racing but others have greater appeal.

Recent form hard to fault. Latest outing 3rd of 15 at Newcastle E&G (Bm64) on December 26 over 1350m, long-neck behind Awesome Lad with 53.5kg at $16. The start before that 3rd of 8 at Wyong Hcp (C1) on December 10 over 1200m, 2 len behind Stoltz with 53.5kg at $15. Will appreciate the 3kg claim.

First-up. Finished off last preparation when at start; ran last of 8 at Gosford 3yo+ (Bm64) August 28 over 2100m, 21 len behind Kacper Boy carrying 54.5kg at $13.
