Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Ohoka Dream at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ on July 16 at $19. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Western Arterra at this track over 2138m in a 3yo+ on July 23 at $4.80. Gets his chance to break through.

Didn't do much last time out, was well beaten after breaking at this track on August 1. Before that 6th (Sr1) over 2138m at this track, beaten 6 m by Miki B (2:37.00) in 4yo+ on July 25 at $6. This looks far too tough.

Last start 8th (Sr4) over 2138m at this track beaten 24 m by Stripes (2:35.00) in 3yo+ on August 4 at $19. Two runs back 2nd (Fr5) over 1660m at this track, beaten 1.1 m by Uncle Tony (1:54.90) in 3yo+ on July 28 at $10. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start won by 5 m (Sr4) at this track (2:32.80) beating Fight To The End in 4yo+ on July 25 at $4.60. Improvement to come so he is a big chance again.

Comments

Well beaten last start by Williams, a rival who he faces again; when 21 metres eighth at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ race on August 1. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
