Last start got back early 8th of 11 at Te Rapa on August 9 over 1400m, on a wet track; 8 len behind Malborough Bay carrying 56kg at $16.70. The run before that ran last of 7 at Ruakaka on August 2 over 1600m, slow going 6 len behind Levakia with 58kg at $11.40. Struggling a bit and looks safely held.

Comes here off a 43-day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 7 at Arawa Park on July 19 over 1400m, on a wet track; 1.5 len behind Girls Light Up with 55.5kg at $8.70. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Tauranga on July 6 over 1600m, on rain affected going; nose behind Rosetown Princess carrying 56kg at $6.20. Seriously doubt his chances in this.

Second run back. First-up after nine months raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 12 at Te Rapa on August 23 over 1500m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Tenfoot Tall carrying 60kg at $7.80. Previously second-up 9th of 15 at Te Rapa on September 27 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind My Lips Are Sealed with 56.5kg at $9.10. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at New Plymouth Raceway on August 16 over 1600m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Indian Gold with 56.5kg at $16. The run before that 7th of 14 at Te Rapa on July 26 over 1600m, on a wet track; 4.5 len behind Elle McFab carrying 57kg at $13.20. Hard to see him improving enough to trouble this field.

Getting off the mark on debut; ran on strongly from last on the turn and won by 1.3 len at Ruakaka August 16 over 1200m in heavy going defeating Saltburn carrying 58.5kg at $5.30. Sure to prove hard to beat.

At the latest run was well back until straightening; raced back then made ground from the turn; won by 1.3 len at Taupo August 17 over 1400m in heavy going defeating Subiaco carrying 57.5kg at $38.10. The start before that eased back early on 8th of 14 at this track on July 27 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Scarlet Temple with 57.5kg at $37.60. Fitter again but looks safely held in this company.

Form hard to fault. Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at Arawa Park on August 13 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 1.75 len behind Big Wave with 57kg at $6.50. The race before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Waverley on July 25 over 1400m, on heavy track; 2 len behind Rosesrred with 58.5kg at $8.30. Jumps from a wide draw but worth including.

Most recently didn't do much in the run home; 10th of 14 at Te Rapa on August 9 over 1600m, in the wet; 11 len behind Graces Gift with 54.5kg at $12.50. Before that scored a big 4 len win at Avondale July 16 over 1400m on a heavy track defeating Akimoto carrying 54.5kg at $2.30. Looks well placed here and can find form again.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 29-day let-up. Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 3rd of 10 at Ruakaka on August 2 over 1300m, slow going 0.9 len behind Dancing Dream carrying 57.5kg at $5. Before that led but faded 3rd of 12 at Avondale on July 16 over 1600m, in the wet; 1.5 len behind White Mask with 56.5kg at $6.80. Among the hardest to beat.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 43-day let-up. Last start scored a big 4 len win at Arawa Park July 19 over 1400m in heavy going defeating Don's Legacy with 55.5kg at $5.30. The start before that held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at Pukekohe on June 25 over 1400m, on rain affected going; 1.3 len behind Graces Gift with 55.5kg at $3.70. Has upside and may pay to follow.

Third-up today. Resuming 2nd of 7 at Avondale on July 16 over 1200m, on heavy track; nose behind Miss Understood with 54.5kg at $7.20. Second-up came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at Te Rapa August 9 over 1300m in heavy going defeating Renaissa carrying 56.5kg at $5.70. Found her best form now. Likely to feature, despite a wide gate.

Comes off a 56 day let-up. Last start eased back early on 6th of 9 at Tauranga on July 6 over 1600m, on heavy track; 6 len behind Rosetown Princess carrying 55.5kg at $7.30. The race before that won by 1.3 len at this track June 22 over 1400m in the wet defeating Sadhbh with 55.5kg at $3.90. Better than the last run suggests and deserves another chance.

Second-up. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after 16 months 9th of 12 at Te Rapa on July 26 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 4.5 len behind Moneypenny with 52kg at $78.50. Previously second-up won by 0.8 len at Wanganui April 5 2024 over 1200m in soft going defeating Hasbulla with 54.5kg at $3.30. Others make more appeal especially from her bad gate.

Most recently made ground from midfield; 2nd of 8 at Arawa Park on August 13 over 1230m, on a wet track; 2 len behind Opaea Joe with 55.5kg at $8.60. The run before that 6th of 12 at Te Rapa on July 26 over 1200m, on heavy track; 2.25 len behind Moneypenny with 54kg at $26.20. This looks a stern test.
