Multiple Group 3 winner. Second run back. First-up after three months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 13 at Caulfield Bm100 on August 31 over 1400m, long-neck behind Another Wil with 60.5kg at $6. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Caulfield G3 Vic Hcp April 6 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Seonee with 54kg at $6.50. Back in great order and is proven at this level.

At the latest run 3rd of 13 at Goulburn Goul Cup on August 25 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Green Shadows with 57.5kg at $6. The run before that 5th of 10 at Rosehill Bm88 on July 20 over 1300m, slow going 1.2 len behind Robusto carrying 61.5kg at $2.50. Makes plenty of appeal from a nice gate on the limit.

Group 2 placegetter. First-up. Finished off last campaign second of 8 at Randwick in the G3 Carbine April 1 2023 over 1600m, on heavy track; a head behind The Fortune Teller carrying 56kg at $3.80. First up last campaign third of 10 at Rosehill in the G2 Hobartvlle February 18 2023 over 1400m, a long neck behind Osipenko with 56.5kg at $21. Market watch advised.

Group 3 placegetter. Useful type. Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 10 at Hawkesbury in the LR Rowleymile on August 22 over 1600m, 1.75 len behind Cepheus carrying 56kg at $8.50. Before that second last of 11 at Rosehill Open Hcp on August 3 over 1500m, 4.5 len behind Williamsburg carrying 55kg at $7.50. Could surprise at massive odds.

Second run back. First-up after three months from last on the turn 7th of 13 at Goulburn Goul Cup on August 25 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Green Shadows carrying 60.5kg at $8.50. Previously second-up won by 0.8 len at Sunshine Coast LR Sun Coast Cup January 27 over 1400m defeating Essonne carrying 57.5kg at $4.50. Not sure he's up to this.

Group 2 placegetter. Most recently 2nd of 11 at Rosehill Bm100 on August 31 over 1500m, 2 len behind Ceolwulf carrying 53.5kg at $13. Before that 4th of 11 at Rosehill Open Hcp on August 3 over 1500m, 0.9 len behind Williamsburg with 52.5kg at $26. Meets a tough line-up and prefer others.

Group 3 winner. Second-up. First-up after four months 10th of 12 at Randwick in the G3 Show County on August 24 over 1200m, 7 len behind Joliestar carrying 53kg at $21.

Group 2 winner. Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Resuming 6th of 9 at Randwick in the G2 Missile on August 10 over 1200m, slow going 3 len behind Schwarz with 57.5kg at $16. Last start 12th of 14 at Randwick in the G2 Tramway on September 7 over 1400m, 7 len behind Royal Patronage with 57kg at $81. Needs to step up considerably.

Group 1 placegetter. Second run back. First-up after five months second last of 14 at Randwick in the G2 Tramway on September 7 over 1400m, 7 len behind Royal Patronage carrying 55kg at $201. Previously second-up got back early 9th of 13 at Randwick Filante on October 21 over 1600m, 9 len behind Unspoken carrying 59kg at $101. Stayer who needs it a lot further.

Group 2 winner. Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming second last of 12 at Randwick in the G3 Show County on August 24 over 1200m, 8 len behind Joliestar carrying 56kg at $201. Second-up ran last of 14 at Randwick in the G2 Tramway on September 7 over 1400m, 12 len behind Royal Patronage with 57kg at $201. Likely to find this too tough.
