Two back was well beaten into eighth after a quick start, behind Plains In Heaven at this track over 2240m in a 0W/15 0K stake on August 2 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Always Be Blakey at this track over 1720m in a 0W/15 0K stake on August 9 at $151. Nice effort last time. Leading player.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr1) over 1720m at this track beaten 19 m by Look Like Diamonds (2:01.20) in NR 70 to 79 on August 9 at $26. Showed ability the run before when he won by 2.25 m (Sr2) at this track (2:40.40) beating The Iron Duke in 0W/15 0K stake on July 12 at $6.50 at the bell was 6th-9.08. Sure to be thereabouts.

Resuming after ten weeks off the scene. Finished off last campaign recording a big 14 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr6) at Globe Derby Park (2:43.00) beating Star Man in NR 52 to 59 on June 7 at $1.15 at the bell was leading.6m 2WNC. Previous preparation first-up won by 21 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Globe Derby Park (2:09.40) beating Splash Of Paynt in 3yo No NR on May 10 at $1.20. Strong fresh performer and is a top chance to take this out.

Didn't do much last start, 11th (Fr4) over 2240m after showing early speed at this track beaten 22 m by Some American (2:40.50) in NR 80 to 89 on August 9 at $101. Before that 8th (Fr1) over 2240m at this track, beaten 24 m by Yambukian (2:39.70) in No NR on July 26 at $101. Others make more appeal.
