Hung out when 18.2m 3rd $13 (Fr3) Bill Shannon Bathurst 1730m (1:58.6) R3347 race Sep 4 then solid effort when 11.7m 3rd $5.50 (Fr4) Benignant Bathurst 1730m (2:02.1) R3446 race Sep 11. Placed at two of last three starts and definite contender here.

Eased early when 42m 6th $34 (Fr5) Shes The Other One Dubbo 1720m (1:58.1) R3847 race Sep 1 then beaten 9.2m 3rd $41 (Fr1) Schnappshot Bathurst 1730m (2:01.9) R4045 race Sep 11. Handy run when 3rd at last start and can't ignore.

Race comment

Checked and broke when 51m 8th $3.10 (Fr2) Caribbean Rocket Dubbo 1720m (2:02.4) 3R4550 race Aug 25 then tightened during running and inconvenienced when beaten 14.5m 8th $3.10 (Fr4) Coffee Bay Cowra 1700m (2:07.0) R3846 race Sep 8. Had excuses past couple and has claims on sound effort four back at Penrith.
