Second run back. First-up after 11 months 6th of 12 at Cork on July 25 over 1005m, 2.5 len behind Red Evolution carrying 59kg at $17. Previously second-up won by 0.8 len at Thirsk April 20 2024 over 1005m on a soft track defeating Moonstone Boy with 52.5kg at $1.90. Expect a better outcome this time.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 16 at this track on July 19 over 1307m, 3.5 len behind Go Athletico with 54kg at $26. The run before that came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.0 len at this track June 4 over 1005m defeating Brigid's Cloak carrying 56kg at $15. Well placed to make amends.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 3rd of 12 at Cork on July 25 over 1005m, 1.5 len behind Red Evolution with 51.5kg at $9.50. The start before that won by 0.8 len at this track July 20 over 1005m defeating Nezeeh with 58.5kg at $9. Terrific chance for a return to winning form.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
