Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth behind Jilliby Topgun at Shepparton over 1690m on July 21 at $5. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Straight To Thetop at Shepparton over 2190m on August 4 at $4.33. Can improve. Expected to play a major role.

Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr6) over 2190m at this track, at the bell was 7th-10 beaten 17 m by Poppy Popstar (2:47.90) in M on August 3 at $16. Two runs back game effort when 2nd (Fr1) over 1690m after showing early speed at this track was 3rd-13.9m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 3 m by Queen Of Sees (2:05.70) in 3yo on May 31 at $17. Better than the last run so worth another chance.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Buslin Brody at Kilmore over 2180m on August 13 at $6. Performed better the start before where she tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose (Fr7) at this track (2:47.90) beating Boutika in M on August 3 at $3.50 at the bell was 2nd-0.4. Better than the last run and can improve sharply.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 1690m at Kilmore beaten 50 m by Distant Sun (2:04.40) on July 30 at $10. Before that, a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1690m at Shepparton was 7th-13.17 at the bell, beaten 1.5 m by Jilliby Topgun (2:07.00) on July 21 at $4. Better than the last run suggests; set to make amends.
