Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Good Tobe Locksley at this track over 2240m on June 13 at $1.95. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Words at this track over 2240m on August 7 at $2.10. Leading contender.

Two back was fifth behind Fairplay at this track over 1720m on August 1 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind The Steel Dragon at this track over 2240m on August 8 at $19. Progressing well. Rates highly and worth including.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start won by 3 m (Sr2) at this track (2:40.80) beating Good Tobe Locksley in on August 22 at $4.20 at the bell was 6th-10.86. Can overcome the awkward draw to score again.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 4th (Fr6) over 1720m at this track beaten 12 m by Fairplay (2:00.50) on August 15 at $13. Two runs back 3rd (Fr1) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 3.5 m by The Art Of Success (2:01.40) on June 20 at $3.80. Not as keen this time.
