Raced well when 11.2m 5th $5.50 (Sr2) Sur Le Feu NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:54.9) C2-C3 race Jun 8 then good effort to place 0.1m 2nd $7.50 (Sr3) La Patata Newcastle 1609m (1:55.2) C3-C4 race Jun 28. Improved by two runs since a spell and further improvement is possible particularly if the driver can find a good position early from this draw.

Was a handy winner $2.40 (Fr4) over Jimmy The Editor NZ 2.2m Newcastle 1609m (1:56.8) C2-C3 race Jun 8 then tightened during running, had a flat tyre and inconvenienced when beaten 14.2m 9th $12 (Fr8) La Patata Newcastle 1609m (1:55.2) C3-C4 race Jun 28. Winner at this track two back and should handle the distance.

Tired over the latter stages when 48m 10th $101 (Fr5) True Confessions Newcastle 2550m (1:57.7) C3-C4 race Jun 14 then fought on well defeating Doubledelightbrigade NZ 0.1m $81 (Fr6) Newcastle 1609m (1:55.2) C3-C4 race Jun 28. Can't dismiss on latest effort.
