Back half rail, cut corner, closed well for 2nd 2L at Ballarat Bm78 over 1600m Heavy 8. Beaten convincingly by rivals when never looked a serious threat 7L at The Valley Bm70 over 2040m.

Began awkwardly, raced wide, weakened, last 17.7L at The Valley Bm70 over 1600m. Drifted back, never in race, only plodded 9.3L at Caulfield Bm64 over 1400m Soft 5might improve second-up.

Settled midfield, one-paced to the line 10.4L at The Valley Bm78 over 2500m. Remarkable victory when coming from the tail 2.5L at Nhill Nhill Cup over 1650m Soft 7. Stormed past them at Nhill fresh and can win second-up.

Led, overraced, under pressure weakened out 25.7L at Caulfield Bm70 over 2000m. Made up some ground from midfield in a grinding effort 2.1L at The Valley Bm70 over 2040m. [Last win: 04Jun2021 Very smart win 5.5L at Epsom Downs Hcp over 2027m Soft].

Keen midfield, checked 1200m, tend to forgive 6.9L at Flemington Bm70 over 1420m. Weakened out of the race after doing a lot of chasing 20.9L at Hamilton Bm70 over 1600m.

Backward, made up some ground to grab 3rd 4L at Caulfield Bm70 over 1800m. Settled fifth and came with a well timed run but found one better when second 0.2L at The Valley Bm78 over 1600m. Only missed a place once and this is easier.

Held off rivals for a soft win 1L at Traralgon Bm64 over 1900m Soft 6. Applied pressure to the leader but was under the pump to hold position 11.3L at The Valley Bm84 over 2040m. Nicely placed by trainer here.

Sat on speed, took over kicked away for superb win 1.3L at Caulfield 3Y Hcp over 2400m. Box seated, tried hard good run 2.7L at Cranbourne Cl3 over 1500m Soft 5. Might need luck to get across from the draw but can win second-up.

Rolled forward, one paced 600m, soon gone 7.9L at The Valley 3Y Hcp over 2040m Soft 5. Just failed to bridge the gap on the leaders when a nice fourth 1.8L at Cranbourne Bm64 over 1400m. Warrants respect with second-up stats.

Brave run after going forward in transit, when third 8.2L at Warrnambool Mdn Hdle-Sw over 3200m Soft 6. Could only battle the race out for fourth after holding that position in-running 4.7L at Sale Mdn Hdle-Sw over 3240m Soft 6.

Made up many lengths to grab third after getting back to midfield 0.3L at Pakenham Bm64 over 1400m. Slow out, pushed up midfield, got close 0.5L at Caulfield Bm64 over 1600m.

Back half, followed winner in, sound 2nd 2.5L at The Valley Bm64 over 1523m. Got back worse than midfield and was pushed along to make ground 3.2L at Flemington Bm70 over 1800m.
