Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing second behind Raybarnz at this track over 1609m on August 27 at $18.80. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Lightningfast at this track over 1609m on September 3 at $5.30. Strong winning prospects.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Lightningfast (1:54.40) on September 3 at $27.50. Before that 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 15 m by Grateful (1:56.30) in NW3000CD on August 27 at $21.30. Hard to envisage a win.
