Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (5l) when dropped down to 1m1f on New Year's Day in a Class 5; achieved just the one win; others appeal more as this is competitive.

Produced a good effort to finish runner-up in a Class 5 at Scottsville ten days ago; not a frequent winner but consistent lately; G Lerena a noteworthy booking; should figure from a draw which could make things easier and his latest run was promising.

Snapped losing run over Christmas when winning by a short head (Scottsville) in a maiden plate; probably unlikely to trouble the principals despite that win last time.

His tally of course-and-distance wins stands at four; finished in front of several of these on New Year's Day when second at 25-1 (beaten just under 2l) in a Class 5; if he can build on his latest effort then deserves respect.

Verdict

PORFIRIO is a confident pick. He is a leading player based on the strength of his most recent run and can turn around placings with Lake Como from last time they met. Bally Magic has won over C&D.
