Eased early and failed to get a clear run when 15m 8th $19 (Fr8) Pat Stanley NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R5587 race Aug 31 then eased early when 9.2m 8th $26 (Fr6) Admiral Bronski Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R6394 race Sep 7. Well graded here and could improve.

Out of position at the start when distanced 10th $8.00 (Fr3) Im Jaks Teller NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.1) R83103 race Jul 6 then raced well when 8.5m 6th $61 (Fr10) Admiral Bronski Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R6394 race Sep 7. Ran an even race first-up and is 2 from 4 second up; could add to that tally here.

Beaten 22.5m 5th $11 (Fr7) Johnny White NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:58.7) R5388 race Aug 16 then finished 21m 6th $11 (Fr6) Scotlynn Jiggs NZ Tamworth 1980m (2:00.0) R5783 race Aug 22. Shorter trip here and better draw should help and could return to best.

Battled on gamely defeating Karinya Mully 0.2m $7.50 (Sr3) Marburg 1850m (2:00.4) R6582 race Aug 4 then tightened during running when 8m 3rd $41 (Fr4) Jack Farthing NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.6) R7098 race Sep 6. Has found form again and suited here; definite contender.
