Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Lingfield All Weather on September 3 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Style King carrying 60kg at $2.10. The run before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Kempton Park All Weather August 19 over 1200m defeating Saytarr with 57kg at $8.50. Great chance to atone.

Last start got back early 8th of 10 at Sandown Park on August 29 over 1000m, slow going 11 len behind Lipsink with 61kg at $26. The start before that did the work up front then tired 6th of 12 at Kempton Park All Weather on August 19 over 1200m, 6 len behind Francis Drake with 59.5kg at $19. Back up in distance but can't see him playing a major role.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation second last of 7 at Chelmsford June 5 over 1400m, 9 len behind Adelaide Bay with 61kg at $17. When resuming last campaign fourth of 8 at Kempton Park All Weather January 20 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Distant Rumble carrying 60kg at $13. Unlikely to trouble the top few.

Most recently sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Windsor on September 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Margorie carrying 58kg at $29. The race before that 6th of 11 at Lingfield on August 2 over 1400m, 7 len behind Zabeel Alkabeir carrying 58kg at $81. Sure to be about the money.
