Didn't do much last time out, 9th (Fr3) over 2240m after showing early pace at this track well beaten by Justalittlesip (2:40.30) in NR 70 to 79 on July 12 at $18. Before that broke in score up and was out of position at the start 4th (Sr2) over 1790m at Mildura was 4th-5.6 at the bell, beaten 8 m by All Da Rage (2:10.70) in NR 65 or better on June 27 at $5.50. Consider for exotics.

Two back was well beaten into third behind Justalittlesip at this track over 2240m in a NR 70 to 79 on July 12 at $3.40. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Look Like Diamonds at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 79 M on July 26 at $2.15. Among the players.

Looked good last start. Won by 5 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (2:02.70) beating Dance Away in NR up to 80 on July 26 at $3.80 at the bell was 5th-7.99. Two runs back 6th (Fr3) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway beaten 11 m by Business In Heaven (2:02.30) in NR up to 70 on July 18 at $7. This is tougher.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Freshened-up since the last run 56 days ago. Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Keayang Hollywood at this track over 2240m 3yo No NR last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres third again at this track over 1720m same class on March 15. Likely to be there at the business end.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Having his second run back from a spell. Good run when 2nd (Sr1) over 2240m at this track was 5th-7.75 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Silver Pistol (2:41.90) in NR 68 to 82 on June 28 at $5.50. Suited back to a distance where his strike rate is strong so is a big chance.

Three-year-old gelding who is showing promise. Good first up, posted a big 3 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (2:41.90) beating Fox Dan in NR 68 to 82 on June 28 at $1.22 at the bell was leading 2.77. Strong claims.
