Last start 5th (Fr2) over 1720m at Penrith was 6th-19.51 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Born To Ravish (2:06.10) on July 2 at $61. Two runs back was well back in the run when 8th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 25 m by Unjust Enrichment (1:55.30) in 2yo on June 15 at $126. Needs to do more. Not keen on his chances in this field.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Born To Ravish at Penrith over 1720m on July 2 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Tiny Prancer at Menangle over 1609m in a 2yo on July 14 at $6.50. Bursting to win one.

Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.
