Last start won by 9 m as favourite (Sr4) at this track (1:59.70) beating Catch A Wave in on August 22 at $3.50 at the bell was 5th-7.33. A better draw should see him tough to stop.

8-10 Menangle 22Aug26 2300MS $20,400 No NR Fr6 Michael Stanley $19, btn 29.8m, wnr Captains Knock 0, 1:52.2 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

6-12 Melton 22Aug26 1720MS $22,500 No NR Sr2 Ewa Justice $7, btn 15.1m, wnr Fighter Command 0, 1:52.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start 6th (Sr2) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 11th-16.24 beaten 15 m by Fighter Command (1:59.70) on August 22 at $7.

1-10 Melton 29Aug26 2240MS $22,500 No NR Fr6 Jordan Leedham $26, won by 3.6m, 2nd Bulletproof Boy 0, 1:53.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 3.5 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (2:38.50) beating Bulletproof Boy in on August 29 at $26. Two runs back 8th (Fr2) over 1720m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 20 m by Fighter Command (1:59.70) on August 22 at $17. Doubt he can repeat.

2-12 Melton 22Aug26 1720MS $22,500 No NR Fr7 Kate Gath $6, btn 9.1m, wnr Fighter Command 0, 1:52.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Improved last start with a good run when 2nd (Fr7) over 1720m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track, at the bell was leading 3.45 beaten 9 m by Fighter Command (1:59.70) on August 22 at $6. Bold showing expected again.

7-9 Menangle 29Aug26 1609MS $20,400 No NR Fr4 Jason Grimson $3, btn 7m, wnr Wamboyneinamerica 0, 1:50.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a) Unable to secure clear running leaving the 200m. Improved to the inside of Huta in anticipation of that runner shifting wider; however, when this did not occur and Huta shifted in marginally, Bluto struck marker pegs and was unable to secure clear running from that point.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr4) over 1609m after showing early speed at Menangle, beaten 7 m by Wamboyneinamerica (1:50.90) on August 29 at $3. Two runs back won by 2.5 m (Fr2) at Menangle (1:50.10) beating Quiet Storm in on August 22 at $13 at the bell was 3rd-3.8. Not keen on his chances in this field.

5-12 Melton 22Aug26 1720MS $22,500 No NR Sr3 Jodi Quinlan $5, btn 14.6m, wnr Fighter Command 0, 1:52.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

2-10 Melton 29Aug26 2240MS $22,500 No NR Sr2 James Herbertson $2, btn 3.6m, wnr Triple Eight 0, 1:53.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Two back was well beaten into third behind Fighter Command at this track over 1720m on August 22 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second behind Triple Eight at this track over 2240m on August 29 at $1.80. Building in fitness so has winning claims.

3-10 Melton 29Aug26 2240MS $22,500 No NR Sr1 Kate Gath $5, btn 4m, wnr Triple Eight 0, 1:53.9 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Last start solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 2240m at this track beaten 4 m by Triple Eight (2:38.50) on August 29 at $5. Two runs back posted a big 15 m win as favourite (Sr2) at Bendigo (1:56.50) beating Amphijet in on July 1 at $1.06 at the bell was leading 6.37. Racing very well. Tricky draw but has been racing consistently so respect.
