Beaten 14m 2nd $3.00 (Sr2) Tulhurst Cash Parkes 1660m (1:56.4) R5263 race Jul 7 then raced wide early and tightened during running when 18.7m 6th $9.00 (Sr3) Sophie Brown Bathurst 2260m (2:00.5) R5061 race Jul 17. Usually around the mark and has each way claims.

Finished 13.5m 3rd $19 (Sr1) Pacman Hammer Bathurst 1730m (1:56.9) R5159 race Jul 10 then eased early when 25.5m 9th $26 (Fr6) Sophie Brown Bathurst 2260m (2:00.5) R5061 race Jul 17. More needed to threaten.

Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 13.2m 7th $7.00 (Sr1) Our Jack Starr NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.4) R4958 race Jul 10 then beaten 11m 4th $13 (Fr1) Sophie Brown Bathurst 2260m (2:00.5) R5061 race Jul 17. Worth some thought for minor.

Finished 17.2m 3rd $51 (Sr3) Tulhurst Cash Parkes 1660m (1:56.4) R5263 race Jul 7 then beaten 52m 9th $16 (Sr1) Romero Dubbo 1720m (1:59.6) R5059 race Jul 14. Modest claims for this one.

Race comment

Safely held when 8m 2nd $3.50 (Sr2) Valiente Bathurst 1730m (1:58.9) R3952 race Jul 10 then a comfortable winner $1.90 (Sr2) over The Girls Have It 8.5m Bathurst 1730m (1:59.6) R4651 race Jul 17. Recent form consistent and has a soft draw here; respect.

Race comment

Broke under pressure when distanced 10th $8.00 (Fr3) My Secret Beach Dubbo 2120m (2:00.6) R5678 race Jul 14 then beaten 11.2m 4th $41 (Sr1) Our Sequel NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.1) R5866 race Jul 17. One of the lesser contenders.

Race comment

Finished 2m 2nd $4.60 (Sr2) Lucky To Make It Dubbo 1720m (1:59.7) C2-C3 race Jun 29 then broke during running when 72m 9th $6.50 (Fr4) Loyola Trios Dubbo 2120m (2:00.6) R5066 race Jul 14. Mixing form but can't ignore on close second two back.

Race comment

Eased early and tightened during running when 31m 9th $26 (Fr8) Gotta Be Downtown NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:59.4) R5265 race Jul 10 then won easily defeating Tretyakov 8.2m $10.00 (Sr1) Bathurst 2260m (2:00.5) R5061 race Jul 17. Last start winner and is a two times winner at this course and distance; drawn suitably.

Race comment

Fought on very well to place 0.2m 2nd $7.50 (Fr8) Walk On Kimmy Bathurst 2260m (2:03.4) R4256 race Jul 3 then finished 17.5m 7th $26 (Sr2) Gotta Be Downtown NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:59.4) R5265 race Jul 10. Below par last start but definite contender on solid previous form but might need some luck from this draw.

Race comment

Sound effort when 5m 2nd $6.00 (Sr2) Our Jack Starr NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.4) R4958 race Jul 10 then out of position at the start when 17m 5th $13 (Sr5) Sophie Brown Bathurst 2260m (2:00.5) R5061 race Jul 17. Had issues at the start last time and not out of it on sound second prior.
