Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr6) over 1730m after showing early pace at this track beaten 24 m by Mighty Ronaldo (2:01.00) in No NR on August 1 at $81. Not keen on his chances in this line-up.

Seven-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 2nd (Sr1) over 2130m at this track, beaten 7 m by Lusaka (2:32.20) in No NR on July 25 at $7. The race before was not as impressive when beaten by 6 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, after a quick start, behind Heavenly Gipsy at this track over 2130m in a NR 100 or better on July 18 at $51. This looks a far sterner test.

Last start 3rd (Fr2) over 1730m at this track beaten 12 m by Mighty Ronaldo (2:01.00) in No NR on August 1 at $13. Two runs back 4th (Fr2) over 2130m at this track, beaten 16 m by Lusaka (2:32.20) in No NR on July 25 at $17. Not as keen on his chances in this field.

Didn't do much last start, 9th (Fr3) over 2536m at this track beaten 14 m by Mighty Ronaldo (3:04.20) in G3 No NR on July 11 at $41. Before that 4th (Fr1) over 2130m at this track beaten 8 m by Gee Heza Sport (2:34.60) in No NR on July 4 at $8. This looks far too tough.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr3) over 1730m after racing wide at this track beaten 25 m by Mighty Ronaldo (2:01.00) in No NR on August 1 at $23. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 10th (Fr5) over 2130m at this track, beaten 35 m by Lusaka (2:32.20) in No NR on July 25 at $23. Hard to have on those efforts.
