Inconvenienced when 25m 8th $71 (Sr2) Tintin Naturally NZ Parkes 2040m (2:00.1) C1-C2 race Jan 9 then raced wide late when 21.5m 3rd $5.00 (Sr2) Loyola Trios Dubbo 2120m (2:00.6) R5066 race Jul 14. Fitter for sound first up run and proven second up but might need some luck from this draw.

Race comment

Good effort when 1.2m 2nd $6.00 (Fr2) Sam Is Perfection Penrith 2125m (2:00.1) R6175 race Jul 4 then good effort when 1.5m 2nd $7.00 (Sr1) Sals Luck Penrith 2125m (1:59.4) R5665 race Jul 11. Holding form well but finding one or two better lately; danger.

Safely held when 7.7m 4th $26 (Sr1) My Ruebe Star NZ Penrith 2125m (1:58.5) R5667 race Jul 4 then covered extra ground when 3.5m 4th $5.00 (Sr2) Sals Luck Penrith 2125m (1:59.4) R5665 race Jul 11. Narrowly beaten last start despite a wide run but drawn awkwardly here; each way preferred.
