Race comment

Ran 52m 5th $3.30 (Sr4) Sams Express Cowra 2160m (1:58.9) C2-C3 race Jun 23 then sound effort when 8.2m 3rd $4.60 (Fr4) Spike Robyn NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.5) R6476 race Jul 3. Could be ready to improve after two race starts this time in and winner at this stage last prep.

Race comment

First start since spell. Finished 6m 3rd $26 (Fr1) Smokey Quartz Orange Racecourse 1609m (1:55.2) C6+ race Feb 10 then raced wide early when 23m 7th $10.00 (Fr6) Rays Choice Dubbo 1720m (1:57.4) C4-C6 race Feb 20. Resuming after a break should not pose a problem as he is a proven performer first-up (1 from 4).

Race comment

Commanding winner $2.40 (Sr2) defeating Terryrama 26.5m Dubbo 2120m (2:00.7) C1 race Jun 29 then raced wide late when 2.2m 2nd $16 (Fr5) Skirmish NZ Parkes 2040m (1:59.5) R5778 race Jul 7. Solid win two back and a close second last start; contender.

Race comment

Handy win $2.70 (Fr2) over Our Reba Rose 2.7m Dubbo 2120m (2:05.2) C1 race Jun 29 then finished 24.5m 9th $71 (Sr4) Skirmish NZ Parkes 2040m (1:59.5) R5778 race Jul 7. Treat warily.

Race comment

Eased early when 19.5m 8th $71 (Fr6) Hows The Memory Penrith 1720m (1:57.2) C2-C5 race Jun 27 then beaten 12.5m 8th $7.00 (Fr2) Lucky Iffy Bathurst 1730m (1:58.2) R5669 race Jul 3. Fitter for four runs since a break and is proven fifth-up.

Race comment

Resuming. Finished 23.5m 11th $51 (Fr1) Ranfurly Rulz NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:59.8) C2 race Feb 1 then beaten 39m 7th $51 (Sr3) Ima Black Beauty Dubbo 1720m (1:57.3) C2-C3 race Apr 20. Reumes here and need to take on trust on last start fresh run.

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 2.7m 4th $3.90 (Sr3) Lucky To Make It Dubbo 1720m (1:59.7) C2-C3 race Jun 29 then solid effort when 5.5m 3rd $21 (Sr3) Skirmish NZ Parkes 2040m (1:59.5) R5778 race Jul 7. Overall form consistent and has each way claims; fitter now and could bounce back.

Race comment

Won $1.90 (Sr4) narrowly over Kempley Princess 1m Peak Hill 1800m (2:01.0) C0-C3 race Jun 9 then eased early when 28m 9th $34 (Fr5) Spike Robyn NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.5) R6476 race Jul 3. Poor last start but prior form sound and can't ignore.

Race comment

Held on well when 5.5m 3rd $34 (Sr1) Lucky Iffy Bathurst 1730m (1:58.2) R5669 race Jul 3 then raced wide early and tired over the latter stages when 38.5m 10th $126 (Fr3) Maximus Red Bathurst 1730m (1:57.5) R6176 race Jul 10. Covered extra ground last start so can forgive poor run.
