Progressive 2yo and things haven't gone to plan as yet this term; there's still time

Hasn't really kicked on from a good run here in May and he's drawn widest
NR (8)	Knicks Bay J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	J:Joanna Mason T:Michael & David Easterby	115	—	1-2100	75	106	66	14d	—	—	—	13.3	—	—
Free-going sort who overdid it from the front here last time; still opposable from stall 8
