Two-year-old colt is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 2240m. Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck after showing early speed, (Fr2) held up early, at this track (2:43.80) beating Arsenio in 2yo No NR CG on November 8 at $2.80 at the bell was 3rd-3.83. Draws well so can land the hat trick.

Two-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. At debut 6th (Fr1) over 2240m at this track beaten 35 m by Hesitate (2:43.80) in 2yo No NR CG on November 8 at $11. Didn't do enough on debut.

Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr2) at Geelong (1:57.30) beating Blackindeed in 0-2 WINS on November 1 at $1.50. Can bounce back.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing sixth behind Always Hot at this track over 2240m in a 2yo G1 No NR CG on September 14 at $151. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Hesitate at this track over 2240m in a 2yo No NR CG on November 8 at $7.50. Can improve. Big chance.

Beaten favourite last start when third at this track on November 8. Won the start before at this track on October 25. One of the chances.

Well beaten last start by Hesitate, who he meets again; was restrained, when 19 metres fifth at this track over 2240m in a 2yo No NR CG race on November 8. Tested.

Fair run when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Forty Love at Bendigo over 2150m in a 2yo No NR CG on September 18 at $61. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Fairplay at this track over 2240m in a 2yo No NR CG on November 8 at $18. In the mix.

Well beaten last start by Fairplay, who he meets again; when 50 metres seventh at this track over 2240m in a 2yo No NR CG race on November 8. This looks out of his reach.

Two-year-old colt who is showing promise. Good first up, won by 5 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at this track (2:41.30) beating Crocodile Socks in 2yo No NR CG on November 8 at $2.20 at the bell was leading 0.97. Has plenty of upside so could overcome the draw to win again.

Hard to have from this draw.
