Caught wide, ran well when 2.85 lengths 4th to San Nicasio in Caulfield 1400m Autumn Stakes on 14 February. Fitter for two runs after let-up and steps to much more suitable distance.

Magicool
Outsprinted closing stages when 3.85 lengths 8th to San Nicasio in Caulfield 1400m Autumn Stakes. That was first run since November. Likely to be fitter and extra distance suits.

Strong Moonee Valley 1500m winner by half length from Profit Share before 3.25 lengths 5th to San Nicasio in Caulfield 1400m Autumn Stakes on 14 February. Looked to have his chance last time.

Last all the way when beaten 8.5 lengths into 14th place behind San Nicasio in Caulfield 1400m Autumn Stakes on 14 February. Did finish head 2nd to the smart Petrology at this distance at Flemington in November.

Zahspeed
Win at Geelong (1540m) and Sandown (1800m) before 1.25 lengths 2nd to Norman Rules in Moonee Valley 2040m 3YO on 24 January. Might have won again last time if ridden more patiently.
