Recent form hard to fault. Last run finished fourth of 9 starters at Killarney on August 21 over 4224m, 15 len behind Hees Dynamite carrying 69.5kg at $7. The run before finished second of 13 starters at Cork on August 4 over 3721m, 0.5 len behind Young Lucy carrying 69.5kg at $8.50. Continues to improve. Worth including here if repeats the run.
