Resuming. Beaten 38.5m 9th $130 (Fr5) Whereyabinboppin Wagga 1755m (2:00.9) 2C0-2C1 race May 8 then finished 41.5m 6th $59 (Fr2) Major Roll Wagga 1755m (1:58.7) 2C0-2C2 race May 15. Lightly raced runner back from a spell; would have benefited from three runs in his initial campaign and could run well in this field.
