Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Major Crunch at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ NR up to 60 on February 21 at $34. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Tinder Surprise at this track over 1660m in a 4yo+ NR 50 or better on February 28 at $26. Should get his chance from this draw.

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr5) over 1660m at this track beaten 17 m by Huxton (1:57.40) in 4yo+ NR 50 or better on February 28 at $26. Two runs back 3rd (Fr2) over 1660m at this track beaten 5 m by Udderly Sweet (1:57.60) in 4yo+ NR 50 or better on February 14 at $5. Hard to enthuse.

Last start won by 3.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at this track (1:57.10) beating Teddy Turpin in 3yo+ NR up to 75 on February 27 at $3.40. Awkward draw but in-form and may feature again.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Strikem at this track over 2138m in a 4yo+ NR 50 or better on February 21 at $9.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third behind Cotchinellie at this track over 1660m in a 3yo+ NR up to 75 on February 27 at $8. Expected to go well again.
