Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Cool Night at this track over 1609m in a NR 58 to 71 on February 13 at $12. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second behind Constantina at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 53 on February 20 at $4.60. Going along well.
