Two-year-old colt lining up for the second time. At debut 6th over 1609m at this track was 7th- at the bell, beaten 11 m by Larjon Luke (1:55.30) in 2yo CG on August 5 at $10.40. Better off avoiding.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 1.3 m second behind Untold Story at Clinton Raceway over 1609m 2yo CG last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres third at Kawartha Downs in 2yo OPEN C on August 1. Racing well and not without merit.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing fourth behind Aussie Pharoah at this track over 1609m in a 2yo CG on August 5 at $83.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing third behind Big Boy Ballykeel at this track over 1609m in a 2yo CG on August 12 at $13.75. Can improve. Top chance.

Has struggled of late. Last start 8th over 1609m at Mohawk Park beaten 22 m by Th Theo (1:54.40) in 2yo OPEN CG on July 20 at $9.95. The run prior 6th over 1609m at Mohawk Park, at the bell was 5th- beaten 9 m by Atlas Ross (1:52.40) in 2yo OPEN CG on July 5 at $58. Anticipating a much better performance this time.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Billy Hill at Mohawk Park over 1609m in a 2yo CG on August 6 at $144.25. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Big Boy Ballykeel at this track over 1609m in a 2yo CG on August 12 at $2.80. Capable of a strong showing.
