Dual acceptor. Going well. Most recently held ground to the line 2nd of 12 at Coleraine 0 - 58 on September 27 over 1800m, long-neck behind Lilidan with 60kg at $2.80. The race before that 4th of 10 at Echuca 0 - 58 on September 21 over 1600m, 3 len behind Bunjil with 60kg at $3.30. Well placed. Nabbed on the line last start when looked all over a winner and doesn't need to improve much.

Last start favourite; won by 1.0 len at Mildura Mdn-Sw October 7 over 1400m defeating Verona Rupes carrying 59.5kg at $2. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Katherine 0 - 64 on August 17 over 1700m, 2.25 len behind Fierce Legend with 54kg at $5. Brings interesting formlines, but did take 20 runs to break the maiden and keen to see in this grade.

Second-up. First-up after four months favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Murtoa Mdn-Sw October 5 over 1600m defeating Don't Doubt Tigga with 59.5kg at $3. Previously second-up came from midfield; 4th of 14 at Geelong Mdn-Sw on June 6 over 1700m, 1.75 len behind Keefy's Bro carrying 59.5kg at $5.50. Back in fine order and is likely to feature.

Racing well. At the latest run ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 10 at Echuca 0 - 58 on September 21 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Bunjil with 58kg at $17. The race before that settled back and ran on when 4th of 7 at Wagga Riverina Cup 73 on August 11 over 2500m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Semper Fortis carrying 56kg at $13. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

At the latest run settled well back; won by a nose at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw October 8 over 1400m defeating Aka Daka with 59.5kg at $6. The race before that eased back early on 7th of 12 at Sandown-Hillside Mdn-Sw on September 18 over 1300m, slow going 5.5 len behind Andrina carrying 59.5kg at $26. 3/4 brother to Pierro who finally broke through last start but will find this tougher.

Racing well. At the latest run 3rd of 10 at Gunbower Gunb Cup on October 5 over 1800m, 1.75 len behind Cadazio with 52kg at $10. The start before that won by 2 len at Jerilderie Jerildcup September 28 over 1400m defeating Decker with 52kg at $9. Been good in Cups race at his past two.

Dual acceptor. At the latest run 8th of 11 at Bairnsdale Bm58 on October 14 over 1600m, 8 len behind Cyclone Harmony carrying 57kg at $9. The run before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 12 at Moe Bm58 on September 30 over 1619m, slow going 3.5 len behind Gracious Diva carrying 59kg at $8.50. Certainly worth another chance.

Last start did the work up front then tired 5th of 10 at Tatura Bm58 on October 1 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Deadly Press with 56kg at $6. The race before that 7th of 10 at Echuca 0 - 58 on September 21 over 1600m, 4 len behind Bunjil with 58kg at $12. Happy to overlook.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at Moe Bm58 on September 30 over 1619m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Gracious Diva with 58kg at $10. Before that raced on the speed throughout before fading 9th of 14 at Hamilton Bm58 on September 16 over 1600m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Following Sea carrying 55kg at $8. Improved performance would not surprise here.

At the latest run 7th of 12 at Moe Bm58 on September 30 over 1619m, slow going 6 len behind Ripplebrook with 57.5kg at $14. The race before that 9th of 13 at Wangaratta 0 - 58 on August 24 over 1300m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Brenlyn's Trooper carrying 56kg at $12. Drawn well but hasn't been particularly inspiring of late.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up settled back and ran on when 8th of 12 at this track 0 - 64 on September 8 over 1300m, 4 len behind War Drama with 55.5kg at $41. Second run from a spell ran last of 10 at Swan Hill Bm64 on September 24 over 1600m, 48 len behind Boondocks carrying 55.5kg at $21. Needs to lift on recent efforts.

Second run back. First-up after 16 months 3rd of 12 at Moe Bm58 on September 30 over 1619m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Ripplebrook with 56kg at $51. Previously second-up 7th of 11 at Orange Ctry Bm58 on April 14 2023 over 1610m, on heavy track; 13 len behind Loose Love carrying 59kg at $19. Encouraging first-up run and gets nice weight relief with the claims.

At the latest run 6th of 14 at Echuca 0 - 58 on September 21 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Slate Ripper carrying 58.5kg at $26. The start before that ran last of 14 at Hobart Bm60 on August 11 over 1600m, 25 len behind Coup De Spry carrying 59kg at $51. Looking to others.
