Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 8 m by Horn Player (1:50.90) in No NR on August 30 at $23. Before that beaten 22 metres, tenth at this track over 2300m No NR on August 23. Better off avoiding.

Last start won by 5.5 m as favourite (Fr5) at this track (1:50.90) beating Lamandier in NR up to 95 on August 23 at $1.45 at the bell was 6th-10.16. No surprise if he made it two in succession.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr9) over 2300m at this track, at the bell was 8th-16.24 beaten 9 m by Kingman (2:41.50) in No NR on August 23 at $126. Two runs back won by a head when driven back in the field, (Fr8) held up early, at this track (1:50.30) beating Curly James in NR up to 120 on September 7 at $13 at the bell was 8th-23m on the pegs. Fitter and open to plenty of improvement.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start 8th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track beaten 11 m by Eye Keep Smiling (1:49.90) in No NR on August 30 at $3.10. The start before was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track, beaten 17 m by Max Delight (1:48.80) in LR No NR on August 16 at $7.50. Suitably placed and can make amends.

Fair performance when beaten by 5 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Kingman at this track over 2300m in a No NR on August 23 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Eye Keep Smiling at this track over 1609m in a No NR on August 30 at $16. Well placed to go a couple better.
