Race comment

Sound effort when 7.2m 5th $126 (Fr3) Our Ultimate Julie Newcastle 1609m (1:55.8) 3C0-3C4 race May 31 then eased early and inconvenienced when beaten 39.5m 7th $61 (Fr8) No Win No Feed Menangle 1609m (1:53.7) 3C0-3C2 race Jun 11. Proven at this track and distance and fitter for recent racing.

Held up for a run early in the straight when 7m 3rd $41 (Fr3) Balraj NZ Penrith 2125m (1:58.7) C0 race Jun 6 then held on well when 5.7m 4th $4.40 (Fr2) Cruzy Dude NZ Penrith 2125m (1:59.1) C0-C1 race Jun 13. Yet to win but placed in 7 of 22 and this field not strong.
