Three-year-old gelding who is showing promise. Solid first up, won by 2.25 m as favourite (Sr3) at Penrith (2:05.10) beating Crunch It in 3yo on August 20 at $1.80. Rates highly. Will be a lot better for that hitout.

Showed ability the outing before when he won by 19 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Newcastle (1:51.50) beating Stitched Up Dan in on August 14 at $2. Sure to be thereabouts.

3-10 Penrith 20Aug26 1720MS $9,790 NR up to 63 Sr4 Robert Morris $3, btn 10.8m, wnr Go Away Again 0, 1:54.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)
