Racing well recently. Last start raced on the pace when 2nd of 7 at Caulfield Bm84 on July 25 over 1100m, slow going head behind Tennessee Bound carrying 54kg at $11. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at Caulfield Bm78 on July 11 over 1100m, slow going long-neck behind Markdel carrying 56kg at $21. Went close last time. Knocking on the door and sets up nicely.

Second run back. First-up after three months favourite; scored a big 4 len win at Sale Bm62 July 26 over 1000m on a rain affected track defeating Midnight Devil carrying 62kg at $1.70. Previously second-up favourite; scored a big 6 len win at Bairnsdale Mdn-Sw March 22 over 1000m in soft going defeating Sapphire Reign carrying 59.5kg at $1.50. Can go on with it. Dominant fresh, wouldn't shock if he measured up.

Recent form sound. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Moe Bm62 on July 21 over 1017m, in the wet; 0.6 len behind Blondie's Award with 59.5kg at $2.60. Before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.75 len at Cranbourne Bm62 July 16 over 1000m in heavy going defeating Tesoro Mio carrying 56.5kg at $7.50. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Minor hope.

Recent form sound. At the latest run came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Flemington Bm78 on July 18 over 1000m, slow going 0.8 len behind Along The River with 54.5kg at $4.20. Before that 3rd of 12 at Caulfield F&M Bm84 on June 27 over 1100m, slow going 2.75 len behind Luna Cat carrying 51kg at $3. Not convinced she wants 1100m but she's in the mix.

Second run back. First-up after five months 4th of 10 at Sandown-Hillside F&M Bm70 on July 22 over 1000m, slow going 2.5 len behind Saluted carrying 59kg at $5.50.
