Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m after being wide early at Geelong, beaten 1.5 m by Dance Affair (1:55.30) in NR 56 to 64 on May 30 at $4. Before that beaten 45 metres, tenth at Menangle over 2300m 3yo No NR F on May 3. Not likely to threaten this time.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m fourth behind My Uncle Stan at this track over 1720m NR 68 to 82 last start. Before that was beaten a head second again at this track in NR 70 to 79 on May 17. Will be right in the thick of things.

Didn't do much at the last run, was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr5) over 1720m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was 8th-9.8 beaten 11 m by My Uncle Stan (2:02.90) in NR 68 to 82 on May 31 at $51. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 2240m at this track was 8th-14.79 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Perun (2:43.60) in NR 70 to 79 on May 24 at $101. Hard to have on those efforts.

Last start 7th (Fr1) over 2240m after showing early speed at this track was leading by 0.97 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Crime Writer (2:41.60) in NR 70 to 79 on May 24 at $3.20. Before that, failed to finish when he ran at this track on May 17 over 2240m. Among the chances on his best form.

Fair run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Jilliby Illuminate at this track over 2240m in a 0W/15 0K stake on May 10 at $8. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind The Iron Duke at this track over 2240m in a NR 60 to 69 on May 17 at $1.55. Expected to feature with even luck from the draw.
