Race comment

Battled on gamely defeating Superbass NZ 0.5m $2.30 (Fr4) Albion Park 1660m (1:56.8) C0 race Jun 25 then ran 18.5m 4th $41 (Fr7) Self Assured NZ Albion Park 2680m (1:58.4) 3C0+ race Jun 29. Continues to race well and this draw not a major problem as he usually races back in the field; expected to be finishing off strongly here.

Race comment

Handy effort when 5.5m 4th $15 (Sr4) Pure Charisma Cowra 2160m (2:02.0) C0-C1 race Jun 23 then finished 14m 2nd $3.00 (Sr2) Tulhurst Cash Parkes 1660m (1:56.4) R5263 race Jul 7. Another good run last start when second and has won in this distance range; not out of it despite the tricky draw.
