Two back was well beaten into third behind One Mhor For Heather at this track over 2600m in a 3yo+ on July 18 at $38.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Almighty at this track over 2600m in a 4yo+ on July 25 at $7. Has the inside draw and is expected to go very well.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (10m 1) over 2600m at this track beaten 35 m by Almighty (3:21.80) in 4yo+ on July 25 at $6.40. Before that 8th (Fr7) over 1980m at this track, well beaten by Brett's Mate (2:29.70) in 3yo+ on July 18 at $2.80. Wait until the form picks up.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Love Walked In at this track over 1980m in a 3yo+ on July 18 at $11.90. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind What The Dragon at this track over 2600m in a 4yo+ on July 25 at $9.10. Will be about the money again.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 7th (Fr3) over 1980m at this track, well beaten by It's So Easy (2:29.50) in 3yo+ on August 1 at $39.80. This looks a far sterner test.
