Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Spunkys Gotsecrets at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 58 on April 2 at $26. Then a handy effort when a close second after showing early speed, behind Mister Quirk at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 62 on April 10 at $6.50. Has strong claims.

Improved last start with a game effort when 3rd (Fr2) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track beaten 11 m by Lochinvar Jag (1:52.50) in NR up to 62 on April 10 at $16. Draws wide but with even luck can play a role in the finish again.
