Went for a break before returning 3rd of 9 at Ruakaka in the G3 Northland Breeders Stakes on August 16 over 1200m, in the wet; 0.9 len behind Tajana with 57kg at $18.70. Has each-way claims from a good gate.

Recent form sound. Last start 3rd of 10 at Wanganui in the LR Wanganui Guineas on August 30 over 1200m, on heavy track; 3.5 len behind Platinum Diamond carrying 57kg at $49.80. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Arawa Park on August 13 over 1230m, on a wet track; 3 len behind Churmatt carrying 54.5kg at $6.30. Can get off the mark this line-up.

Third-up today. First-up came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 11 at Te Rapa 3yo Mdn-Sw on August 23 over 1200m, on a wet track; 1.3 len behind Quantum Legend with 54.5kg at $101.90. Last start 5th of 13 at this track in the LR Colin Meads Trophy on September 6 over 1200m, slow going 4.5 len behind Affirmative Action carrying 57kg at $47.10. Sure to be thereabouts.
