Inconvenienced and raced roughly when 4.5m 3rd $13 (Fr2) Under Worked NZ Menangle 2300m (1:56.6) claiming race Jun 18 then held up for a run early in the straight when 2.5m 3rd $9.00 (Fr4) Fat Prophet NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.1) claiming race Jun 25. Blocked for a run when unlucky 3rd last start and well suited here.

Out of position at the start when 24.5m 8th $9.50 (Fr8) Under Worked NZ Menangle 2300m (1:56.6) claiming race Jun 18 then won $9.00 (Fr6) narrowly defeating Selling The Dream NZ 0.4m Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) claiming race Jun 25. Narrow winner last start at the distance and each way preferred.
