Race comment

Beaten 42m 8th $6.50 (Fr1) Sams Express Bathurst 2260m (1:58.9) R6272 race Jul 24 then looked good defeating The Ideal Dancer 5m $4.60 (Fr5) Bankstown 1740m (1:59.2) R5666 race Aug 2. Drawn out but has the speed to obtain a spot just outside the leader early; if so could be in the finish.
