Dual acceptor. At debut, 5th of 9 at Randwick Kensington 3yo F Mdn on December 5 over 1300m, 2.5 len behind La Basilique carrying 58kg at $18. Improver who looks ideally placed here. Improver who should go close.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Saxon Warrior out of Bouboulina purchased for AUD $ 26,000 (Inglis 2024 HTBA Yearling Sale). At the most recent trial finished fourth on December 8 at Warwick Farm over 1200m. Hard to enthuse on what he has shown.

Third-up today. Resuming made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Kembla Grange Cg&E Mdn on November 15 over 1300m, long-neck behind Aristocrat with 54.5kg at $41. Second-up 5th of 10 at Canberra Mdn-Sw on December 5 over 1300m, slow going 3.5 len behind Whack Attack carrying 57.5kg at $3.70. Racing well. Deserves consideration.

Four-year-old gelding (Flying Artie - Latifa) will no doubt benefit from the three trials prior to his debut today. Fifth over 1000m in a Hawkesbury trial on December 15. Likely to need this run.
