Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Just Teasing at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT4 on September 16 at $45.17. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Grande Via at this track over 1609m in a W2BNMT4 on September 30 at $31.18. Nice effort last time. Winning hope.
