Fair run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Grumpyshannon at this track over 2030m on July 3 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Lewie Kelly at this track over 2030m on July 10 at $23. In fine form.

The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Lochinvar Jag at this track over 1609m on July 3 at $101.
