RACE COMMENT
Kept trying 2-3/4 len 4th of 5 (4) $3.10 59.0 Bamyan Buddha 1600m Murray Bridge Gh (Bm72) Good(4) Jan 10. Knuckled down well to score 1-3/4 len win of 5 (4) $5.50 56.0 Wild Winner 1600m Morphettville (Bm78) Good(4) Jan 31. On a quick back-up. Prominent and responded strongly this track over this trip. Drawn favourably. Up in weight for that win but doubt that will be enough to prevent another bold performance.
