Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Alrighty at this track over 1720m in a NR 60 to 71 on July 5 at $7. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Gotfeelingsyouknow at this track over 1720m in a NR 70 to 85 on July 19 at $19. Can be thereabouts.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Gotfeelingsyouknow at this track over 1720m in a NR 72 to 87 on June 28 at $9. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Sebastians Boy at this track over 1720m in a NR 63 to 79 on July 12 at $6. Nice effort last time. Should be in the mix again.

Resuming after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Im Bobby at this track over 2240m in a NR 70 to 85 on March 8 at $2.90. Yet to miss a place when fresh so looking for a good return.

Didn't do much last time out, 6th (Sr1) over 1720m at this track, beaten 35 m by Gotfeelingsyouknow (2:03.90) in NR 70 to 85 on July 19 at $34.

Broke last start was well beaten into seventh behind Im Bobby at this track over 1720m in a No NR on July 19 at $8. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Fr3) over 1720m after showing early pace at this track, at the bell was leading 0.54 beaten 2.5 m by Jilliby Ballerini (2:06.50) in No NR M on July 12 at $4.80. Worth another chance.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
