Second run back. First-up after two months sat on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 14 at this track on July 20 over 1600m, on a wet track; 8 len behind Divine Spirit carrying 59.5kg at $15.20. Previously second-up 3rd of 12 at Riccarton Park on January 15 over 2000m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Wry Smile carrying 58.5kg at $10.40. Strong top-three chance.

Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at Riccarton Park Synthetic August 6 over 2200m defeating Take On with 66.5kg at $8.90. Before that 7th of 13 at Riccarton Park Synthetic on July 9 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Hey Now with 56.5kg at $10.60. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up won by 6 len at this track June 15 over 1600m on a heavy track defeating Queen Of Kings with 56.5kg at $19.10. Last start 7th of 14 at this track on July 20 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind Divine Spirit with 57kg at $19.40. Better than the last run and can bounce back.

At the latest run settled well back; won by a long-neck at this track July 20 over 2200m in the wet defeating Miss Enzed with 51kg at $8.20. Before that 6th of 13 at this track on June 15 over 1600m, on heavy track; 3 len behind Irish Miss carrying 51kg at $15.30. Among the each-way chances.

Last start 10th of 12 at this track on July 20 over 2200m, on a wet track; 10 len behind I Hope I Never with 56kg at $4. The start before that favourite; won by a nose at Ashburton July 3 over 2200m in the wet defeating On The Rivet with 54.5kg at $8.30. Best form stacks up so she can make amends.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 12 at this track on July 20 over 2200m, in the wet; 1.4 len behind I Hope I Never carrying 56kg at $5.50. The race before that 3rd of 14 at Ashburton on July 3 over 2200m, in the wet; 1.1 len behind Cosmetic Virtue carrying 56kg at $8.40. Sure to run well again.

Last start 10th of 12 at Riccarton Park Synthetic on August 6 over 2200m, 18 len behind El Ultimo carrying 67kg at $14.70. The start before that 6th of 12 at Riccarton Park Synthetic on July 24 over 2200m, 6 len behind Analyst carrying 57.5kg at $8.50. Hasn't won over this journey in 6 starts so he will need to lift.

Last start 5th of 12 at this track on July 20 over 2200m, on a wet track; 1.5 len behind I Hope I Never with 55.5kg at $18.60. The start before that second last of 14 at Ashburton on July 3 over 2200m, in the wet; 9 len behind Cosmetic Virtue carrying 57kg at $15.20. Include in all combinations.

Returns from a 50-day let-up. Last start 10th of 12 at Riccarton Park Synthetic on June 26 over 2200m, 11 len behind Tap Dancer carrying 59kg at $6.20. The race before that 4th of 10 at Riccarton Park Synthetic on May 1 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Koputaroa with 59kg at $12.40. Capable of sharp improvement.
