Caught the eye defeating Sams Express 2.5m $51 (Fr6) Bathurst 1730m (1:56.3) R6273 race Jul 17 then held on well when 8.7m 5th $17 (Fr1) Majordan Menangle 1609m the GROUP3 Civil Contractors Pace (grp3) Jul 27. Likely leader from this draw and could be hard to run down.

Covered extra ground when 20.5m 9th $9.50 (Fr3) Motu Gatecrasher NZ Menangle 2300m (1:54.2) R83115 race Jul 13 then covered extra ground when 10m 2nd $4.20 (Sr3) Acuto NZ Penrith 2125m (1:57.5) R7081 race Jul 25. Holding form fairly well and contender from a suitable draw.

Handy win $2.00 (Fr2) defeating Royal Story 2.2m Bathurst 1730m (1:56.6) C6+ race Jun 5 then safely held when 8m 6th $4.20 (Fr10) Goodtime Heaven Menangle 1609m (1:52.0) C0-C8 race Jun 15. Fitter for recent runs and could atone for last start failure in stronger company.

Suffered gear malfunction when 10m 3rd $19 (Sr2) Acuto NZ Penrith 2125m (1:57.5) R7081 race Jul 25 then beaten 19.5m 8th $23 (Fr3) El Gran Senor NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:57.7) R7389 race Jul 31. Needs to lift to figure here.

Handy win $7.00 (Sr2) over Tulhurst Santanna 2.2m Parkes 2040m (1:59.5) R5778 race Jul 7 then beaten 12.5m 8th $23 (Fr6) Pocket Of Terror Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R6387 race Jul 27. Mixed form this prep and need to treat warily.
