Didn't do much last time out, was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr8) over 2260m at this track was 8th-13.98 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Alwaysbmypony (2:43.20) on September 2 at $61. Before that was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr6) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 14 m by Baxter Red (1:52.30) in 4yo+ on August 29 at $126. Must improve sharply.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 2 m fourth behind Alwaysbmypony at this track over 2260m last start. Before that was beaten a head second again at this track over 1730m same class on August 19. Draws to make an impact.

Good performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Saint Veran at this track over 2260m on August 26 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing third behind Alwaysbmypony at this track over 2260m on September 2 at $3.10. Can be thereabouts.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comes here in the right form. Won by a head when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at this track (2:43.20) beating Shez Sweet Louise in on September 2 at $34 at the bell was 6th-9.55. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr8) over 2260m at this track, at the bell was 7th-17.69 beaten 6 m by Saint Veran (2:43.60) on August 26 at $14. Others make more appeal.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr10) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, beaten 40 m by Springfield Affair (1:49.00) on August 29 at $15. Showed ability the run before when he raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 11 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Menangle (2:43.20) beating Vincenzo in 4yo+ on August 22 at $6 at the bell was 2nd-3.95. Strong claims.

Last start was well beaten into fourth behind Springfield Affair at Menangle over 1609m on August 29 at $19. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early pace at Menangle, at the bell was 3rd-3.75 beaten 1.1 m by Wicked Wizard (1:51.70) on August 22 at $6. Draws for a trail so may get into the finish.

Fair run when beaten by 5.5 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, behind Wamboyneinamerica at Menangle over 1609m on August 29 at $23. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Ripp at this track over 1730m on September 2 at $5.50. Has the ability to take this out.
