Resuming after a break of four months. Finished off last preparation fourth of 12 at Morphettville 3yo Bm68 June 22 over 1540m, soft track; 4 len behind Bona Fide Star with 57.5kg at $3. First up last campaign second of 9 at Cranbourne Mdn-Sw April 19 over 1300m, soft track; a nose behind Miss Rubydoo carrying 59kg at $1.40. Has placed at only two first-up runs, had good form before the spell and inside alley can only help.

Useful type. At the latest run faded in the straight 7th of 12 at Ballarat Bm64 on October 3 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Laa De Sha with 59kg at $9. The start before that held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at Geelong Bm64 on September 13 over 1440m, 1.0 len behind Party At Artie's with 59kg at $8.50. Winner in this grade three back then not beaten far at past two, so a big chance again.

Second run back. First-up after two months ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at Seymour Bm64 on September 15 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Zaszou carrying 58.5kg at $8. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 at Ballarat 0 - 64 on February 25 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Metrical carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. Better for the first-up run and can figure prominently from the gun draw.

Useful gelding. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently second last of 8 at Seymour Bm64 on September 15 over 1200m, 6 len behind Zaszou with 59kg at $19. The run before that came from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Seymour Bm64 August 27 over 1200m in soft going defeating Fly On Bye with 60kg at $2.80. Draw doesn't aid chances but only needs to repeat run of two starts ago to be a factor
