Twice 2nd in Group 1 company as a 2yo; should be in the shake-up under suitable conditions

Five wins as a 2yo; more exposed than his rivals but still likely to give a good account
8 (7)	Midnight Tango Bay J:Kieran Shoemark T:Ed Walker	J:Kieran Shoemark T:Ed Walker	126	—	24460-	96	99	95	203d	—	—	+11	13.1	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Useful 2yo whose final two runs last year can both be excused; others bring stronger form
