Fought on very well when 2.5m 2nd $14 (Sr2) Shannonstheman Bathurst 1730m (1:56.3) R6273 race Jul 17 then won $2.50 (Fr3) narrowly defeating Rockn And Rolln 0.7m Bathurst 2260m (1:58.9) R6272 race Jul 24. Holding form very well and could make it back to back wns at this track.

Sound effort when 10.7m 4th $11 (Fr1) Crocodile Kid Menangle 1609m (1:53.0) M0 race May 18 then checked and hung in during the race when beaten 30m 6th $21 (Fr8) Pembrooks Passion NZ Menangle 2300m (1:55.0) M0 race Jun 1. Racing without much luck lately and this is easier; could bounce back having won at his only previous start at this track and distance.

Sound effort when 1.7m 4th $3.30 (Fr2) Deano Robyn NZ Menangle 2300m (1:56.6) C7894 race Jul 16 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 7.5m 8th $3.40 (Fr2) Hes Okey Dokey NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.1) C7093 race Jul 23. Thereabouts in recent starts has each way claims.
