Good effort when 2m 2nd $3.90 (Fr2) Our Sams Home Temora 1635m (2:00.9) R4347 race Feb 4 then battled on gamely defeating Crime Dont Pay 0.5m $9.50 (Fr2) Canberra 1770m (2:00.7) 3R4353 race Feb 10. Was a narrow winner last start and likes this distance; in the mix.

Back from a spell. Eased early when 24.5m 7th $52 (Fr7) Jemstone Tabcorp Park 2240m (1:58.7) 2C0-2C5 race Jun 29 then finished 18.2m 6th $46 (Fr4) Treasure Tabcorp Park 2240m (1:57.8) 2F3765 race Jul 9. Resumes here and his only win to date was on debut last prep; drawn ideally and could repeat.

Tired over the latter stages when distanced 7th $5.00 (Sr2) Operative Anna Penrith 1720m (2:00.3) 2F3847 race Jul 25 then beaten 4.2m 4th $5.50 (Fr2) Tingiringi Menangle 1609m (1:56.5) 3F4756 race Feb 11. Ran an even race first-up and should be fitter for the run.

By Roll With Joe USA out of Boldandbeautiful facing starter for first time. Had had numerous trials in prep for this so lack of actual race experience could be less of an issue.

Held on well when 11.2m 7th $41 (Fr5) Vincenzina Menangle 1609m (1:51.8) R4960 race Jan 25 then won $1.90 (Fr1) narrowly defeating Rock Fisherman 0.2m Bathurst 1730m (1:59.8) R4850 race Feb 9. Drawn poorly but not out of it on last start narrow win.
