Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start 2nd (Sr1) over 1720m at Dubbo, at the bell was 3rd-4.81 beaten a head by Party King (2:05.00) in 2yo on October 26 at $23. Before that was well back in the run when 3rd (Fr6) over 1730m at Bathurst was 4th-7.8 at the bell, beaten 13 m by Im The Major (2:04.30) on October 14 at $7.50. Not keen.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Don Hunter at this track over 1609m in a 2yo on October 17 at $126. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Don Hunter at this track over 1609m in a 2yo G1 on October 31 at $101. Rates highly. Should be in the finish again.

Solid run when beaten by 1.75 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Vedmid Stride at Goulburn over 1710m in a 2yo on October 19 at $26. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Born To Entertain at Bathurst over 1730m in a 2yo on October 28 at $6.50. Expected to be in the finish again.

Began his campaign last start running 3rd (Sr2) over 1730m at Bathurst, at the bell was 2nd-0.96 beaten 7 m by Samnate (2:06.10) on October 28 at $2.90. Not as keen on his chances in this field.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 1.4 m when quickly away, (Fr9) at this track (1:53.40) beating Passion And Pain in 2yo on October 27 at $21 at the bell was 4th-4.8. Two runs back came from midfield and won by 5 m (Sr1) at Bathurst (2:05.30) beating Reason To Be Happy in 2yo on August 26 at $13 at the bell was 6th-13.67. Has a great overall strike-rate and it is hard to knock winning form.
