Two back was well beaten into third behind Kyvalley Michael at Kilmore over 2180m in a NR 51 to 56 on March 12 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Aldebaran Brooke at this track over 2240m in a 0W/15 0K stake on March 14 at $51. Racing well and draws the inside so respect.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Quirky Character at this track over 1720m in a NR 70 to 85 on February 28 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Claudys Hero at Bendigo over 1650m in a NR 56 to 64 on March 11 at $11. Go well.

Comments

Returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Keayang Bazlenka at this track over 2240m in a 2yo G1 No NR CG on December 13 at $8.50. Leading three-year-old of last season and has trialled well so could make a winning return.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Crusher Clyde at this track over 2240m in a NR 65 to 75 on March 7 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Maestro at Charlton over 2570m in a No NR on March 15 at $13. Forward performance expected.
