Races PR Belmont

Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 in a Rtg 72+ at this track on August 29 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind The Crimson Pirate carrying 54kg at $26. The run before that eased back early on 7th of 10 in a Rtg 66+ at this track on August 15 over 1650m, 6 len behind Statewide with 58kg at $10. Topweight for a reason and in well after the claim.

Second-up. First-up after four months ran second last of 12 in a Tatts Cup at Kalgoorlie on August 23 over 1600m, on a slow track; 19 len behind The Jester's Son with 58.5kg at $41. Previously second-up ran last of 12 in a Rtg 66+ at this track on July 26 2025 over 1600m, slow going 12 len behind Famous Dain with 57.5kg at $101. Veteran who is drawn well but probably best to wait until he shows a little more.

At the latest run 8th of 10 in a Rtg 72+ at this track on August 29 over 1600m, 5 len behind The Crimson Pirate carrying 55kg at $7. Before that 7th of 11 in a Rtg 70+ at this track on August 8 over 1600m, in the wet; 5 len behind Lillian with 57.5kg at $5.50. Tricky gate but ready now after three runs back from a spell.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Not raced for 42 days. First-up ran on from midfield; 3rd of 15 in a Rtg 66+ at this track on July 18 over 1400m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Mt Shirataku carrying 56kg at $51. Last start set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 7 in a Rtg 65+ at this track on August 1 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3 len behind In Confidence with 56.5kg at $11. Sure to prove hard to beat.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation fourth of 10 at Ascot Rtg 66+ May 9 over 1800m, 3.5 len behind Westbound carrying 56kg at $18. Previously first up; 11th of 16 at this track Cl3 December 3 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Itzabeast with 57kg at $26. Wait for later in the prep.

Most recently 4th of 10 in a Grad Hcp 60+ at this track on September 5 over 1600m, slow going 3.5 len behind Yes I Know with 56.5kg at $101. The race before that ran second last of 10 in a Grad Hcp 60+ at this track on August 22 over 1600m, slow going 8 len behind Cinque Stelle with 57kg at $61. Not the worst, but looks to be battling it out for the minors.

Recent form sound. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 11 in a 0Mwly at this track on August 29 over 1600m, long-neck behind Olaf The Snowman carrying 52.5kg at $3.10. The run before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 8 in a Cl5 at Pinjarra on August 20 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Publicise with 55kg at $7.50. Not far off Olaf The Snowman last start, so right in contention.

Recent form sound. Last start settled well back; won by a long-neck in a 0Mwly at this track on August 29 over 1600m defeating Phat Chaps with 55kg at $5. The run before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 11 in a Cl3 C&G at this track on August 19 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3 len behind The Rocket carrying 59kg at $15. In a purple patch of form and capable of stepping up to this grade.
