Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth after showing early speed, behind Ravishing Sloy at Menangle over 1609m on July 14 at $4.80. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Ravishing Sloy at Menangle over 1609m on July 21 at $8. With even luck is a winning chance.

Two back was well beaten into ninth after a quick start, behind Wamboyneinamerica at Menangle over 1609m in a 4yo+ on July 18 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Sweet Ideal at Menangle over 1609m in a 4yo+ on July 25 at $6. One of the key runners.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Go Without at Menangle over 1609m on July 14 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Toolijooa Beach at this track over 1720m on July 23 at $8.50. Nice effort last time. Heading the right way now.
