Second run from a spell led but faded 2nd of 10 at Otaki on September 26 over 1400m, in the wet; 4.5 len behind The Scunner carrying 58kg at $10.40. Worth following.

Racing well recently. Comes off a 49 day let-up. Most recently won by 0.5 len at Wanganui Hcp August 30 over 2040m on a heavy track defeating Urenui carrying 54kg at $5.30.

Previously second-up won by a nose at Woodville August 11 2024 over 1600m in the wet defeating Sweetjineen carrying 56kg at $13.60. Fitter for that hitout and has plenty of upside.

Recent form sound. Most recently rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 11 at Hawera on October 4 over 2100m, on heavy track; 2.25 len behind Who Knows with 55kg at $8.10. The run before that won by 1.0 len at New Plymouth Raceway September 13 over 2000m in the wet defeating Rosetown Princess carrying 54kg at $5.30. Hard to fault if at his best.

Last start 5th of 12 at this track in the G3 Metric Mile on September 20 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Ears Back carrying 54kg at $11.40. The run before that 5th of 7 at Awapuni Synthetic on August 24 over 1700m, 3 len behind Love Janie carrying 55kg at $6.30. Better than recent form suggests and deserves another chance.
