Has been out of the placings at the last couple of starts from tricky draws, the latest when eighth over 2200m at Alexandra Park. Drawn close to the inside and he can find winning form.

Not a threat last start when fourth over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway, beaten 25 metres. Facing a tough assignment this time around.

Did well last time to finish 2.5 metres from the winner in third over 2000m at this track. This looks a far sterner task.

Has missed the frame but not been too far away last few, most recently finishing fifth at this track over 2000m. Major player on best form.

6-8 Manawatu 06Apr25 2000MS $10,695 R43 TO R46 3U Peter Ferguson $17, btn 21.1m, wnr Captain Kobe , 1:59.5 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Unsuccessfully challenged for the lead early and then again racing down the back the first time.
