1-8 Ararat 23Aug26 1790MS $6,000 NR 50 to 55 Fr4 James Herbertson $2, won by 0.2m, 2nd We Favour Rosie 0, 1:57.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Worked forward from the start before progressing to obtain the lead approaching the 1300m mark.

3-5 Terang 25Aug26 2180SS Trial Fr4 Jack Barton btn 2m, wnr TACTICALLY PERFECT 0.0, (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up ran on from midfield and won by 9 m as favourite (Sr1) at this track (2:01.20) beating Keayang Alabama in on March 2 at $1.70. Strong winning chance while fresh.

2-9 Melton 22Aug26 2240MS $15,000 NR up to 71 Fr2 Ewa Justice $6, btn 2.8m, wnr I Am The Storm 0, 1:55.3 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

1-8 Ballarat 26Aug26 1710MS $7,000 NR 56 to 64 Fr7 Glen Craven $7, won by 0.2m, 2nd Kiss Me Mini 0, 1:56.6 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following August 22 run.

This race will be harder than that win. Not keen.
