Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Goodtime Libby at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 79 M on September 13 at $14. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Soap And Bubbles at this track over 2240m in a NR up to 79 M on September 27 at $14. Can play a role from the good draw.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Ima Terminator at this track over 2240m in a NR 60 to 69 on September 19 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Golden Tribe at this track over 1720m in a 0W/15 0K stake on September 27 at $18. Can be in the finish.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into ninth behind Forty Love at this track over 2240m in a 3yo No NR CG on September 6 at $2.20. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Sr5) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 7th-8.62 beaten 3.5 m by Fox Dan (2:01.70) in NR 67 to 75 on August 2 at $2.30. Talented enough to overcome that back row draw and win this.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind My Ultimate Barney at this track over 2240m in a NR 70 to 79 on September 20 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second behind Maxnjax at this track over 1720m in a NR 65 to 75 on September 27 at $5. Worth some thought.
