Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Happy Too Ya at Penrith over 2125m in a NR up to 57 on May 7 at $10. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind You Are My Wish at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 59 on May 12 at $4.40. Could sneak into the exotics.

Recent form below what she is capable of. Last start was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 14 m by Colossal Hope (1:52.20) in NR up to 80 on May 2 at $31. The run previous 8th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 m by Peace Out (1:52.30) in NR up to 75 M on April 25 at $8.50. Worth another chance. Drops in grade so capable of a better showing.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Quickshift Girl at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR up to 58 on May 1 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.25 m finishing second behind Watermain Lady at this track over 1609m in a 4yo+ NR up to 60 on May 9 at $16. Worth including.
