Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Catalpa Rescue at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a NR up to 90 on May 16 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Cantfindabettorman at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a No NR on May 23 at $19. Heading the right way now.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr4) over 1720m at this track, at the bell was 9th-13.16 beaten 8 m by My Uncle Stan (2:02.90) in NR 68 to 82 on May 31 at $7. Showed ability the run before when he tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 m (Sr1) at this track (2:41.60) beating Calexico in NR 70 to 79 on May 24 at $12 at the bell was 3rd-3.05. Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best form.

In good form last start. Won by 3.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr7) at Bendigo (1:57.00) beating Harryhoo in NR 60 to 74 on April 9 at $1.35. Two runs back came from midfield and won by 2.25 m as favourite (Sr4) at this track (2:41.00) beating Luva Scrap in 0W/15 0K stake on March 29 at $1.65 at the bell was 2nd-0.2m on the pegs.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing eighth after being driven well back, behind Meteor Moth at this track over 1720m in a NR up to 105 on May 24 at $51. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Sir Jimmy at this track over 2240m in a NR 83 to 96 on May 31 at $26. Hs rough place claims.
