Recent form sound. Comes here off a 46-day let-up. Most recently ran last in a small field at Ascot on July 24 over 3200m, 10 len behind Kirchner with 60kg at $3.30. Before that 3rd of 20 in the NORTHUMBERLAND PLATE at Newcastle All Weather on June 27 over 3300m, 3 len behind Align The Stars with 57.5kg at $10. Best form stacks up so he is worth another chance.
