Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Ilikeitlikethat at this track over 1609m in a HGCLCDNW2 on June 10 at $8.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Beyond Dazzling at this track over 1609m in a HGCLCDNW2 on June 24 at $89.70. Strong winning prospects.

Ran well last start showing plenty of improvement following May 9 run. Just managed to hang on and win won by a 0.6 m (Fr7) at Oak Grove Racing (1:54.30) beating Prince Palone in CLM20K-NW1 on June 9 at $9.37. This race will be harder than that win. Hard to have.
