Failed to impress last start; 9th (Sr4) over 2040m at Parkes beaten 35 m by Riviere (2:32.10) on August 21 at $41. Showed ability the outing before when he ran on from midfield and won by a head (Sr2) held up early, at Parkes (2:34.30) beating Wokka Rock in on August 14 at $10 at the bell was 6th-8. Has a low draw and can bounce back.

1-10 Penrith 20Aug26 2125MS $6,940 NR up to 48 Fr6 Jorja Daskalovski $7, won by 0.3m, 2nd Designa Label 0, 2:00.4 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Has won at his last two outings. Last start won by a neck (Fr6) at Penrith (2:39.00) beating Designa Label in on August 20 at $6.50. Hard to leave out on current form. Should be there at the business end.

5-10 Young 18Aug26 1720MS $10,000 NR up to 55 4U Fr5 Jett Turnbull $9, btn 6.1m, wnr Pukunui Beach 0, 2:00.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) When negotiating the first turn broke stride. Held up for clear racing room until the final 100m.

Last start 5th (Fr5) over 1720m at Young was 9th-11.8 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Pukunui Beach (2:08.40) in 4yo+ on August 18 at $8.50. At his previous start 8th (Fr8) over 2260m after being wide early at this track beaten 19 m by Shes Got A Reason (2:50.00) on August 12 at $9. Certainly worth another chance.

7-10 Young 18Aug26 1720MS $10,000 NR up to 55 4U Sr4 Nathan Turnbull $61, btn 9.5m, wnr Pukunui Beach 0, 2:00.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Leaving the 300m hung in marginally locking wheels with Alwaysatthebeach.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr4) over 1720m at Young was 7th-8.4 at the bell, beaten 9 m by Pukunui Beach (2:08.40) in 4yo+ on August 18 at $61. Showed ability the outing before when he raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 m when quickly away, (Fr3) at Dubbo (2:05.70) beating Theycallmebruce in on July 3 at $8.50 at the bell was 3rd-5.4. Well drawn and expected to bounce back.

1-10 Parkes 14Aug26 1660MS $6,940 NR up to 48 Fr1 Phoebe Betts $9, won by 2.6m, 2nd Riverina Flash 0, 2:01.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 2.5 m when quickly away, (Fr1) at Parkes (2:04.90) beating Riverina Flash in on August 14 at $9 at the bell was leading 0.2. Hard to leave out on current form. Right in this.

7-10 Bathurst 19Aug26 1730MS $9,790 NR up to 55 Fr8 Jason Hewitt $81, btn 12.6m, wnr Lincoln Skipper 0, 1:55.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start 7th (Fr8) over 1730m at this track, at the bell was 6th-10.06 beaten 12 m by Lincoln Skipper (2:03.90) on August 19 at $81. Two runs back 10th (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early pace at Dubbo, beaten 40 m by Im Here To Party (2:07.60) on August 7 at $14. This looks a far sterner test.

3-4 Bathurst 10Aug26 1730SS Trial Sr1 btn 14.7m, wnr AURORA MIGHTY ROB 0.0, (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returns after 13 months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 6 m finishing sixth after showing early speed, behind Riviere at this track over 1730m on July 30 2025 at $3.10. Best form should see him go well.

4-10 Bathurst 12Aug26 2260MS $6,940 NR up to 47 Sr1 Blake Medlyn $18, btn 8.9m, wnr Shes Got A Reason 0, 2:01.1 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

3-10 Bathurst 12Aug26 2260MS $9,790 NR up to 62 Fr1 Paula Sapio $4, btn 4.7m, wnr Tasbmiki 0, 1:58.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Watch Me Raider at Dubbo over 2120m on August 7 at $1.75. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Tasbmiki at this track over 2260m on August 12 at $4.20. Right in the calculations.

1-10 Bathurst 15Jul26 1730MS $6,940 NR up to 47 Fr4 Ella Turnbull $4, won by 2.2m, 2nd Shaun Shannon 0, 1:57.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Leaving the 1200m checked and raced roughly when Raging On shifted down when insufficiently clear.

Last start won by 2.25 m when driven back in the field, (Fr4) held up early, at this track (2:06.50) beating Shaun Shannon in on July 15 at $3.90. Expected to measure up again.

8-10 Parkes 14Aug26 1660MS $6,940 NR up to 53 Fr6 Jorja Rusten $31, btn 30.8m, wnr Bolzano 0, 1:58.7 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Raced three wide during the early stages before working forward.

Last start 8th (Fr6) over 1660m after being wide early at Parkes, beaten 30 m by Bolzano (2:02.40) on August 14 at $31. Two runs back won by 6 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Dubbo (2:36.30) beating Its Down To Digger in on August 7 at $3.30 at the bell was leading 7.2. Facing a tough assignment this time around.
