He sat handy early on his debut in a 1300M race and fought on gamely for 3rd at Te Rapa, then jumped from wide gate and caught wide in a mile event while he fit the front at one stage but just denied on the line for 2nd at Pukekohe. On his last overseas attempt, he jumped from outside draw and settled midfield early, then dashed well to make up a lot of ground late but just too late at Te Aroha. His sire WYNDSPELLE could handle up to 2000M and his dam THEGREATPICKPOCKET won at 1400M while former HK runner NOT USUAL TALENT is his dam family member. The chestnut gelding should be fine to handle 1800M or further in distance.
