Battled away for 11-1/2 len 10th of 11 (11) $31.00 54.0 Rare Moon 1400m Goondiwindi 3yo+ Plate (C1) Soft(5) Nov 29. Raced wide without cover when 7-1/2 len 10th of 13 (13) $151.00 53.0 Slipsain 1400m Gold Coast Mdn Good(3) Dec 6. On a quick back-up. Very tame performance (wide barrier) at Gold Coast at second run back when seemingly unfancied. Drops to shorter trip. Can play a role.
