Tired over the latter stages when distanced 10th $4.40 (Fr2) Gracie Taljuice Penrith 1720m (1:59.2) C1 race Sep 27 then beaten 6.5m 3rd $81 (Sr2) Little Bliss Penrith 2125m (2:00.8) R4557 race Apr 16. Useful third when resuming last start but is 0 from 2 second up and overall win record moderate.

Beaten 25m 6th $19 (Fr1) Sals Luck Bankstown 1740m (1:58.7) R6273 race Jan 24 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 8m 6th $19 (Sr1) My Patronus NZ Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R5266 race Apr 16. Fitter for first up run and proven second up (2 from 6); drawn poorly but stays in the mix.
