Last start solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 2138m after being wide early at this track, beaten 5 m by Ideal Bronski (2:35.00) in 3yo on August 14 at $6. Two runs back won by 2 m when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at this track (2:36.30) beating Bettor Be Bodhi in 3yo on August 4 at $2.15. Has a nice draw and expected to figure prominently again.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr1) over 2138m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 6 m by Pure Grunt (2:33.80) in 3yo on August 14 at $3.90. Before that beaten 4.5 metres, fifth at this track over 2138m 3yo on August 4. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Last start 3rd (Sr1) over 2138m at this track beaten 11 m by Fire And Passion (2:32.70) in 3yo on August 14 at $26. Two runs back was well back in the run when 10th (Fr7) over 2138m at this track beaten 10 m by Vincheska (2:35.50) in 3yo+ on August 6 at $6. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Fr1) over 2138m after showing early speed at this track beaten 10 m by Fire And Passion (2:32.70) in 3yo on August 14 at $26. Before that beaten 14 metres, tenth at Menangle over 1609m on July 28. Has the job ahead.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Three-year-old gelding is racing in fine form. Won his last two outings at this track. Last start posted a big 5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (2:35.00) beating James Alfred in 3yo on August 14 at $1.20. Should be in the finish.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Last start 3rd (Fr1) over 2138m at this track, beaten 5 m by Ideal Bronski (2:35.00) in 3yo on August 14 at $9. Two runs back posted a big 9 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at this track (2:34.80) beating Pocket Book in 3yo+ on August 4 at $2.20. This looks a far sterner test.
