Eased early when 14m 8th $151 (Fr10) So Kool Master Menangle 1609m (1:52.4) R6499 race Aug 31 then scored handily defeating Our Emancipation NZ 1.5m $11 (Sr4) Bathurst 2260m (2:00.8) R5568 race Sep 11. This is tougher than at his last run and needs to repeat.

Failed to get a clear run when 4.5m 6th $81 (Fr3) Drive The Dream NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.3) R6485 race Sep 14 then solid effort when 8.5m 4th $17 (Fr3) Bridget Blue Chip NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) R6191 race Sep 20. Is 2 from 5 at this course and distance and recent form in similar or stronger company acceptable; danger.

Raced wide early when 11.2m 8th $4.80 (Fr4) Cardlesfromheaven Albion Park 1660m (1:55.0) R6072 race Jul 30 then scored handily defeating Christmas Toyboy NZ 2.7m $5.00 (Fr4) Bathurst 1730m (1:57.1) R5772 race Sep 18. Likes this track (5 wins from 14 starts here) and is a last start winner but this is tougher and each way preferred.

Finished 34m 7th $81 (Fr3) Balraj NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R6681 race Aug 27 then checked and broke when 23.5m 10th $11 (Fr1) Doubledelightbrigade NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:57.1) R6577 race Sep 14. Below par past couple but can't take lightly on useful second three back.

Race comment

Raced wide early and tired over the latter stages when 35.5m 9th $2.60 (Sr4) Tulhurst Santanna Dubbo 2120m (2:01.2) R5773 race Aug 18 then sound effort when 8m 5th $7.00 (Sr2) Convair Hustler NZ Young 2100m (1:58.9) R5778 race Sep 13. Third-up here and a winner at the same stage previously; keep in mind for the multiples.
