Out of position at the start and failed to get a clear run when 13.7m 7th $71 (Fr7) Mach Da Vinci NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.3) R5167 race Feb 11 then scored handily over Nobbys Clock 3.5m $2.00 (Sr2) Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:55.8) R5666 race Feb 25. Comfortable winner last start but each way preferred from a less favourable draw here.
