By Fly Like An Eagle out of Life Of Elinka facing starter for first time. Drawn the pole and bears watching on a close second at a recent trial.

Race comment

Finished 24m 5th $71 (Fr2) Major Bob Bankstown 1740m (2:00.0) 2C0-2C3 race May 24 then caught the eye defeating Mister Armstrong 4m $41 (Fr4) Penrith 2125m (2:01.3) 2C0-2C1 race Jun 13. Tougher here but hard to knock winning form.

Finished 39.5m 8th $81 (Fr9) Jilliby Nitro Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) 2C1-2C5 race Jun 15 then inconvenienced when beaten 11.5m 4th $4.20 (Sr3) Karinya Rocco Cowra 1700m (2:01.2) 2C0-2C2 race Jun 23. Has won twice in past four runs and stays in the mix.

Fought on very well when 3.7m 2nd $1.90 (Fr4) Rock Fisherman Bathurst 1730m (1:58.0) 2C0-2C2 race May 22 then eased early when 37m 7th $26 (Fr8) Jilliby Nitro Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) 2C1-2C5 race Jun 15. Well beaten at his last start but lightly raced and has claims on solid previous form.

Beaten 23.5m 6th $61 (Fr4) Jilliby Nitro Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) 2C1-2C5 race Jun 15 then eased early and checked when beaten 23.5m 7th $151 (Fr4) Be Happy Mach Menangle 1609m the 2Y-GP1 Nswb Challenge 2YOC&G (grp1) Jun 30. Not out of it on the win three starts back.

Race comment

Solid effort when 4m 2nd $3.00 (Sr1) Katchar Shoobee Penrith 2125m (2:01.3) 2C0-2C1 race Jun 13 then raced well when 1.5m 2nd $5.00 (Fr9) Magnifico To Watch Newcastle 1609m (1:58.7) 2C0-2C1 race Jun 28. Close up last start and overall form strong; top contender.

Race comment

Checked at the start when 23.5m 7th $9.00 (Fr5) Mistery Road Menangle 1609m the 2Y-GP2 Rod Fitzpatrick Tatlow (grp2) Mar 15 then out of position at the start when 5m 3rd $5.50 (Fr10) Magnifico To Watch Newcastle 1609m (1:58.7) 2C0-2C1 race Jun 28. Caught the eye resuming last start but the outside draw a concern here.
