Racing well recently. Comes here off a 39-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 11 at Vaal on August 26 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Frere Jacques carrying 57kg at $3.30. Before that 2nd of 7 at this track on August 17 over 1600m, 0.6 len behind Step Into It carrying 57.5kg at $41. Drawn to get the gun run out of the inside alley and expected to go close.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 39-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 7 at Vaal on August 26 over 1200m, 4 len behind King Bluetooth carrying 60kg at $1.60. The race before that 4th of 11 at Greyville All Weather on August 1 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Emoyeni with 57.5kg at $2.70. Rates highly on form over shorter. First try at the mile but claim and low draw helps. Go well.

Most recently 7th of 12 at Scottsville on September 14 over 1600m, 10 len behind Buddy Boy with 55.5kg at $41. The run before that ran last of 8 at Vaal on July 31 over 1600m, 26 len behind Radio Star carrying 54.5kg at $34. Well held last time and facing tough task today.

Returns from a 48-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 7 at this track on August 17 over 1600m, 18 len behind Step Into It with 60kg at $51. The race before that 6th of 8 at Vaal on July 31 over 1600m, 12 len behind Radio Star with 56kg at $81. Happy enough to avoid.

Third race start today. At very long odds at debut, second last of 10 at Vaal on July 31 over 1200m, 22 len behind Xenophon with 55.5kg at $101. Last start second last of 7 at Vaal on August 28 over 1600m, 13 len behind Redlightgreenlight with 55.5kg at $126. Recent form suggests this might be a bit too tough.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 11 at Vaal on September 18 over 1200m, 31 len behind Miami Mountain carrying 60kg at $51. Needs to do a lot more than he did on debut.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 7 at Vaal on August 30 over 1450m, 1.4 len behind Matroosberg carrying 60kg at $2.50. Last start 4th of 9 at Vaal on September 18 over 1700m, 3 len behind Majalun with 57kg at $1.40. Should be further improved and off the low draw looks hard to beat.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 9th of 11 at Vaal on September 18 over 1200m, 19 len behind Miami Mountain with 60kg at $41. Didn't quite do enough on debut to raise the hopes.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 3rd of 7 at Vaal on September 2 over 1400m, 8 len behind Never Never Land carrying 57kg at $26. Doesn't need to improve a great deal to be in the finish here.

Lining up for just third start. At long odds at debut, 4th of 7 at Vaal on September 2 over 1400m, 9 len behind Never Never Land carrying 57kg at $34. Second-up 3rd of 13 at Vaal on September 25 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Amazon Queen with 57kg at $21. Heading in the right direction with a strong run first time at the mile. Cannot be taken lightly.
