Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track well beaten by Finnbar (1:53.30) on July 23 at $11.40. Before that 9th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track, beaten 45 m by Nathan's Honor (1:52.40) in W2-6PMCD on July 16 at $87.60. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.

Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 8th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 12 m by Betterthanhope (1:54.10) on July 23 at $42.70. The run before 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 35 m by Alvin Brickrock (1:52.00) on July 16 at $10.80. No surprise to see him bounce back to form.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Sweet Nan at this track over 1609m on July 14 at $16.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second behind Finnbar at this track over 1609m on July 23 at $17. Capable of a strong showing.
