Keen, Raced Greenly, Crowded near 500m when 3/4 len, 1-1/2 len 3rd of 9 (1) $31.00 55.0 Salaria 1100m Pakenham 3yo F Mdn Plate Soft(6) May 15. On speed, got tired 2 len, 1-1/2 len 3rd of 14 (9) $4.20 57.5 Gran Paradiso 1300m Seymour Mdn Plate Soft(7) Jun 11. Fairly consistent this campaign. Winner packed too many punches but she kept on bravely at Seymour in only her second race appearance. Progressive type. Stripping fitter and commands attention here.

Began awkwardly when 2-3/4 len 5th of 10 (3) $9.00 58.0 Angel In Black 1200m Pakenham Synthetic 3yo Mdn Plate Synthetic(0) Jun 15. Closed off late from the tail this venue when off an extended spell. Will be fitter second-up and rise in trip a plus. Capable of playing a key role in this.

Hampered near 500m when 3-1/4 len 4th of 8 (5) $13.00 58.0 Le Notre 1200m Pakenham 2yo+ F&M Mdn Plate Soft(6) May 22.

Slowly away when 13-1/4 len 10th of 10 (8) $51.00 58.0 Upolu 1200m Mornington 3yo Mdn Plate Heavy(8) Jun 8. Well down the track at Mornington on debut following a market drift. Looks in need of more time and racing.

Midfield, dropped out straight 5-1/4 len 6th of 9 (2) $11.00 59.5 Eeny Meeny 1200m Sale Mdn Plate Heavy(8) Jun 10. In good hands but failed to stamp himself on the race when making debut at Sale 10 Jun. Learnt plenty there. Has a tricky draw to contend with this time. Hard to make a case beyond the minors.

Lost a plate when 5-3/4 len 7th of 8 (7) $151.00 58.0 Kings Commission 1200m Mornington 3yo+ Mdn Plate Good(4) Dec 17. Raced wide without cover when 9-1/2 len 8th of 9 (7) $151.00 59.5 Nitro Sonic 1200m Mornington 2yo+ Mdn Plate Soft(5) May 25. Given time to freshen up after 1st-up run. Plenty of chances, little return. Raced in back half and never likely at Mornington at first run off a long break. First time around Pakenham Synthetic.
