Didn't do much last start, was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 2090m at Hobart beaten 12 m by Mcmayhem (2:36.60) on June 14 at $21. Before that 6th (FT Fr7) over 2698m at this track, beaten 11 m by Bettablack Tiger (3:24.00) on June 7 at $31. Others make more appeal.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Bettablack Tiger at this track over 2698m on June 7 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Mcmayhem at Hobart over 2090m on June 14 at $15. With even luck is a winning chance.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 6th (Fr4) over 2090m after showing early pace at Hobart beaten 40 m by Shes Allaboutluv (2:31.60) on June 14 at $11. Before that, 5th (FT Fr4) over 2698m at this track beaten 10 m by Bettablack Tiger (3:24.00) on June 7 at $7.50. Should be at peak fitness now and looks tough to beat from a nice draw.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 17 m win as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Hobart (2:31.60) beating Custom Harley in on June 14 at $1.90. Two runs back posted a big 8 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Hobart (3:19.20) beating Rockandahardplace in on May 31 at $1.16. Great chance of another win.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr6) over 2090m at Hobart beaten 20 m by Shes Allaboutluv (2:31.60) on June 14 at $3.90. At his previous start 4th (10m Fr1) over 2579m at Hobart, beaten 4 m by Rockandahardplace (3:17.20) on May 17 at $4. Can do a lot better in this suitable contest.
