Finished 24.5m 6th (Fr1) Supersonic Rainbow Young 2100m (2:03.2) 3C0 race Jun 1 then handy effort when 8.7m 2nd $13 (Fr1) Mach Le More Dubbo 2120m (2:01.7) 3R4755 race Aug 18. Lightly raced and caught the eye on resumption with a sound second; was placed at this distance last prep and has claims here.

Tired over the latter stages when 64.5m 10th $81 (Sr2) Taumalolo Parkes 2040m (2:03.6) 3R4550 race Aug 2. Well beaten on debut and likely to need more racing.

Eased early when 13.2m 4th $101 (Fr4) Taumalolo Parkes 2040m (2:03.6) 3R4550 race Aug 2 then raced wide early and checked when beaten 75m 8th $71 (Fr3) Mach Le More Dubbo 2120m (2:01.7) 3R4755 race Aug 18. Hard to see troubling main chances.

Solid effort when 7.5m 3rd $34 (Sr1) Taumalolo Parkes 2040m (2:03.6) 3R4550 race Aug 2 then shifted in under pressure when 6.7m 3rd $23 (Fr1) Betterthanred Bathurst 1730m (2:00.4) 3R4451 race Aug 21. Improving with racing this prep and could go on here; respect.

Finished 50.5m 6th $3.60 (Fr4) Milliondollardream Dubbo 1720m (2:00.9) C0 race Jan 30 then out of position at the start when 86.5m 9th $61 (Fr5) Sweet Luck Dubbo 1720m (2:00.1) R4649 race Aug 18. Maiden and has placed in 1 of 3 but was poor at his latest run and not helped by the draw here.
