Two back was well beaten into fifth behind French Fries at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ NR 50 or better on February 7 at $14. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Hold Onto Ya Bling at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ NR 50 or better on February 14 at $6. Has a low draw and will go well again.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Lenneth at Menangle over 1609m NR up to 75 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres third at Newcastle over 2030m in NR up to 70 on February 6. Sure to measure up again.

Last start 8th (Fr2) over 1660m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 8 m by Resilient (1:55.00) in NR up to 75 on January 31 at $1.90. Before that, a solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1780m after racing wide at Redcliffe, beaten 3.5 m by Credulous (2:07.70) in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on January 21 at $1.75. Best form should see him feature in the finish.

Comments

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts at this course. Placed last start surrendered the lead and finished 3rd (FT Fr1) over 2138m at this track, beaten 6 m by Dashing (2:35.10) in 4yo+ No NR on February 17 at $2.60. Before that 2nd (FT Fr2) over 2138m at this track beaten a nose by Alby Two Chains (2:32.70) in 4yo+ No NR on February 10 at $3.60. Not as keen on his chances in this line-up.

Returns after four months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Double Lou at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo G1 No NR CG on October 25 at $3.30. Has never missed the frame when resuming and can make a winning return.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
