Had the run of race behind the leaders and just missed for second 0.2L at Echuca Vgold Eldorado over 1200m. No match for rivals and never progressed into the race from midfield 2L at Apiam Bendigo Bm84 over 1100m. Much easier task today.

Tried hard but it was always an uphill battle from settling position 3.5L at Flemington Bm78. Came with a nice run late into fourth but the bird had flown 1.8L at Flemington Mares Hcp over 1100m. Down in grade and should be running on.

Was midfield in the running and got past a couple late when sixth 5.1L at Caulfield Vgold Distaff over 1400m. Settled a long way back and finished the race well into fourth 3.3L at Terang Bm78 over 1200m.

Steward's Comments: Held up for clear running from the 500m to the 400m. Rdr said mount was overracing and for this reason he shifted towards the rail near the 1000m where there appeared to be more room. Added mount would appreciate tracks with more give and races over a shorter journey.

Won well after sitting off the pace 0.8L at Cranbourne Bm64 over 1000m. Held position strongly to the line but was never a serious threat 2L at Cranbourne Bm70 over 1000m.

Couldn't muster a sprint in the straight after camping behind the leaders 6.1L Xmas Hcp Listed. Got going when the race was won but encouraging nonetheless, fifth 1.7L at Morphettville Parks Bm72 over 1000m. Great second-up record.

Raced up on the pace but capitulated when the pressure was on 3.9L at Caulfield Bm74. Gave a great sight out in front but was run down for third 1.2L at Cranbourne Bm70 over 1200m. Performs well at this track/distance but tough task..

Positioned midfield and had chance to run on but ultimately outclassed 2.7L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside F&M Bm74 over 1400m. Just off the leaders at the 400m however couldn't make up ground from fifth 2.3L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside F&M Bm78 over 1400m.

Nice ride to sit behind the speed and once clear finished off hard to win 1.5L at Sandown Hillside Mares Bm64 over 1300m. Looked a chance after leading but weakened late for fourth 1.3L at Sandown Lakeside F&M Bm70 over 1200m. Fitter now.
