3 starts : 2 wins
Win distance range : 1400m
Track conditions won on : Fast/Good
Son of Octagonal who impressed me greatly when he completed a solid victory in R70 grade at Ellerslie on December 28. He led the field into the home straight but was soon headed and his winning chances looked forlorn. However, he fought back gamely and edged in front again to secure success by a head margin. He had earlier cleared maidens on debut at Dargaville and then ran a handy fourth at Ellerslie. This was good form for his aforementioned winning assignment.
