Two back was well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Ripples at Menangle over 1609m in a NR up to 60 on February 10 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Le Belle Bijoux at this track over 2240m in a NR up to 80 M on March 14 at $13. Draws for a good showing.

Two back was well beaten into eighth after being driven well back, behind Spirit Of Anarchy at this track over 2240m in a NR 56 to 64 on March 6 at $12. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Good Tobe Locksley at this track over 2240m in a NR 60 to 69 on March 14 at $9. One of the main contenders.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 12th (Fr7) over 2240m after being wide early at this track beaten 30 m by Always Be Blakey (2:41.90) in NR up to 80 on February 21 at $3. Showed ability the run before when he won by 2 m as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Terang (2:41.90) beating Eastbro Chrissy in NR 56 to 64 on February 13 at $1.65 at the bell was leading 0.4. Can improve sharply.
