Second run back. First-up after three months 2nd in a small field at Belterra Park on August 14 over 1673m, 7 len behind Wild Cotton carrying 56kg at $3.20. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 2.75 len at Turfway Park on March 20 over 1207m defeating Easy Dial carrying 54.5kg at $3.79. Fitter but others appeal more.

Comes here off a 57-day let-up. Last start 5th of 9 at Ellis Park Turf on July 4 over 1710m, 1.5 len behind Royal Causeway with 54.5kg at $4.41. The race before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Churchill Downs Turf on June 5 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Fancy Sailor carrying 53.5kg at $9.11. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 51-day let-up. Last start 4th in a small field at Saratoga Turf on July 10 over 1710m, 1.75 len behind Elnajd with 57kg at $6. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at Monmouth Park Turf on June 13 over 1710m, 0.3 len behind Relative Value with 55kg at $2.60. Showed enough last start to suggest he can take this out.
