Race comment

Commanding winner $1.90 (Fr3) over Ardens Admiral NZ 18.2m Menangle 1609m (1:54.3) 2R3841 race Jul 2. Looked good winning on debut and strong winning chance again despite a less favourable draw.

Handy win $1.30 (Fr1) defeating Capital Cullect 4m Tamworth 1609m (2:02.5) C0 race Jun 27 then won $6.00 (Fr1) narrowly over Courageous Dancer 0.5m Newcastle 1609m (1:57.5) R4451 race Jul 1. In form but she is another of leading chances in this field drawn poorly; contender nevertheless.

Eased early when 0.5m 2nd $11 (Fr4) Roclea Star Newcastle 1609m (1:57.1) 2C0-2C2 race Jun 8 then won easily defeating Yosemite 6.5m $1.90 (Fr2) Newcastle 1609m (1:56.3) 2R3841 race Jul 1.

Safely held when 6m 6th $26 (Fr1) Caesareal Newcastle 1609m (1:56.5) C1-C2 race Jun 28 then ran 39m 6th $41 (Fr8) Mylightingfella Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R4858 race Jul 6. Fitter for recent runs and this distance should suit.
