Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr11) over 2000m at Addington beaten 25 m by The Present Maker (2:31.70) in 3yo+ on March 21 at $10.90. Showed ability the race before when she won by 2.75 m as favourite (Fr3) at Reefton (3:18.60) beating Zsazsa Binx in 4yo+ on March 9 at $3.70. Rates highly. Should be in the finish.

Last start was well beaten into eleventh behind The Present Maker at Addington over 2000m in a 3yo+ on March 21 at $10.20. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 2600m at Oamaru, beaten 1.4 m by Who's Queen (3:23.30) on March 5 at $24.20. Rates highly and can do much better.

Last start 7th (Fr6) over 2000m at Oamaru, beaten 9 m by Silverlinings (2:43.20) in 3yo+ on March 23 at $8.50. Before that, 6th (Fr12) over 2170m at Motukarara beaten 12 m by Buffy Northstains (2:49.60) in 3yo+ on March 16 at $12.70. Certainly up to this and expected to go very well.

Two back was well beaten into thirteenth behind Buffy Northstains at Motukarara over 2170m in a 3yo+ on March 16 at $8.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Silverlinings at Oamaru over 2000m in a 3yo+ on March 23 at $8.80. Heading the right way now.

Last start pulled up at Ashburton Raceway on March 26 over 2400m. Two runs back won by 1.4 m (FrU4) at Motukarara (2:54.20) beating Aldebaran Redwood in 4yo+ on March 16 at $66.30. Prefer to see him perform well before recommending.

Expected Settling Position: Backmarker

Began his campaign last start running 10th (FrU1) over 2000m at Oamaru beaten 75 m by Brianna (2:47.60) in 3yo+ on March 23 at $45.50. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.
