Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing third behind Jr Strike Three at this track over 1609m in a 7500CLM on May 16 at $8.30. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Alta Blues at this track over 1609m in a 10000CLHC on May 30 at $9.90. Sure to play a major role.

Fair run when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Alta Blues at this track over 1609m in a 10000CLHC on May 22 at $10.70. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Gonnabelegendary at this track over 1609m in a NW4701L4 on May 30 at $7.70. Should be right in the finish.
