Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Kvitka Stride at this track over 1609m in a 2yo on August 10 at $10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after a quick start, behind Changes at Tamworth over 1609m in a 2yo on August 20 at $11. Solid top-three prospects.

Finding that maiden win elusive. Last start 5th (Sr3) over 1609m at Tamworth, beaten 35 m by Changes (1:55.70) in 2yo on August 20 at $3.60. At the previous start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 65 m by Delaney (1:58.60) in 2yo on August 10 at $8. Rates highly and is well-placed to take this out.
