Comes here off a 48-day let-up. At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 8 at Delaware Park Turf on July 21 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind Good Bytes with 53.5kg at $18.70. The race before that failed to make an impression; 6th of 8 at this track on June 21 over 1710m, 9 len behind Crossover Capital with 54kg at $14.30. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd of 8 at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on August 16 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Full Exchange with 53.5kg at $2.70. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on July 26 over 1609m, 2.25 len behind Band On The Run carrying 53.5kg at $10.70. Not far off the winner latest and looks a genuine hope.
