Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Bettine at Penrith over 1720m on August 27 at $23. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Rio De Janeiro Blue at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on September 8 at $15. Heading the right way now.

Fair run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Rio De Janeiro Blue at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on September 1 at $10.

Two back was well beaten into third behind The Queens Gambit at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on September 1 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind La Familia at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ on September 8 at $13. Close to a win.

Five-year-old entire racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track both over 1609m. Last start won by a nose as favourite when quickly away, (Fr6) at this track (1:56.70) beating Double Needs in 3yo+ on September 8 at $2 at the bell was leading 2.48. Must respect winning form.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Resuming after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign recording by 3 m as favourite (Fr7) at this track (1:53.30) beating American Boxer in 3yo+ on April 28 at $1.33 at the bell was 2nd-.9m 2WNC. Previous preparation first-up won by 5 m as favourite (Fr9) at this track (1:52.90) beating Captains Delight in on April 14 at $1.55. Promising and has the speed to overcome the wide draw.
