Recent form below what he is capable of. Last start 12th (Fr7) over 1980m at this track beaten 25 m by Seaside Brucie (2:25.80) in 3yo+ on July 3 at $2.40. The start before 10th (10m 4) over 2600m at Phar Lap Raceway beaten 45 m by Commander Ben (3:19.30) on May 24 at $2.60. Can make amends.

Failed to impress last start; 8th (Fr3) over 2600m at this track, beaten 40 m by Joyride (3:15.00) in 3yo+ on July 3 at $6.20. Showed ability the run before when he won by 4.5 m (Fr7) at this track (3:13.90) beating Tempo Warrior in 3yo+ on June 26 at $58.40. Will be about the money.

1-10 Addington 05Jul26 1980MS $12,063 R40 TO R45 4U Michael House $9, won by 2nd Style Council , 2:00.90 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Lay inwards near the 350m when awkwardly placed close to the sulky wheel of Queen Of Swords.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following May 17 run. Last start won by 2.25 m (Fr9) at this track (2:28.80) beating Style Council in 4yo+ on July 5 at $8.90. This race will be harder than that win. Not as keen on his chances in this field.

Two back was well beaten into sixth behind Trump Card at this track over 1980m on July 3 at $42.40. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Scrunch at this track over 2600m on July 10 at $8.10. With even luck is a winning chance.

2-8 Addington 07Jun26 1980MS $9,300 R35 TO R45 4U Colleen Negus $2, btn 0.5m, wnr Putere Boy , 1:59.80 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Shifted outwards shortly after the start when driver C Negus was activating gear. Again shifted outwards rounding the final bend when activating gear briefly hampering Kowhai Nugget and Putere Boy. Continued to shift outwards throughout the run home hampering outside runners.

Freshened-up since the last run 40 days ago. Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Putere Boy at this track over 1980m 4yo+ last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres second again at this track over 2600m in 3yo+ on May 29. Deserves a winning turn.

Last start won by 1.4 m (Fr6) at this track (3:14.80) beating Semba in 5yo+ on July 12 at $5.10. In fine form and looks a serious player again.
