Raced wide early, covered extra ground and tightened during running when 11.5m 2nd $3.90 (Fr6) Jimmy The Editor NZ Bankstown 2140m (2:01.0) R5973 race Aug 9 then raced wide early when 6m 4th $2.40 (Fr3) Mister Magic Man Penrith 2125m (1:57.1) R6269 race Sep 5. Ran well past couple despite difficult runs and has claims on narrow defeat three back from a similar draw.
