Second-up. First start 8th of 12 in a Maiden Set Weights at Stony Creek on February 15 over 5½f, slow going 5. 5 len behind Aussie Adaptor carrying 9st4lb at 33/1. Went for a lay-off before racing on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 in a Maiden Set Weights at Ballarat Synthetic on July 27 over 5f, 0. 9 len behind Pull My Finger with 9st5lb at 14/1.
