Race comment

Finished 4.5m 3rd $3.90 (Fr3) New York Rain NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.8) R5593 race Jul 13 then eased early when 14.5m 7th $23 (Fr8) Bronski Belle Menangle 1609m (1:52.4) R7893 race Jul 20. Unlikely starter.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 10.5m 3rd $7.00 (Fr7) Chevrons Reward NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:54.5) R5065 race Jul 1 then eased early when 14m 7th $14 (Fr6) Cruzy Dude NZ Penrith 2125m (2:00.0) R5361 race Jul 18. Have to improve.

Race comment

Held on well when 3.5m 5th $10.00 (Fr8) Maximan NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.0) R71120 race Jul 6 then handy effort when 4.7m 3rd $2.60 (Fr6) Ideal Pleasure NZ Menangle 1609m (1:50.5) R70114 race Jul 13. Fitter for two runs since a spell and has raced well third up before; could repeat from a suitable draw here.

Race comment

Scratched.

Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 1.2m 2nd $10.00 (Fr2) New York Rain NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.8) R5593 race Jul 13 then won $9.00 (Fr9) narrowly over My Ruebe Star NZ 0.5m Menangle 1609m (1:53.7) R5977 race Jul 20. This harder than in recent starts but hard to knock current winning form.

Race comment

Eased early when 20.5m 7th $34 (Fr4) Ideal Pleasure NZ Menangle 1609m (1:50.5) R70114 race Jul 13 then beaten 0.5m 2nd $13 (Fr6) Tralee Bromac NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.7) R5977 race Jul 20. Could figure in the finish here.

Race comment

Hung in during the race, raced wide early and pulled hard when 18.5m 7th $10 (Fr4) Pistol Abbey Tabcorp Park 2240m the MS-GP1 Super Series 4YO Mares (grpp1) Jul 6 then fought on well defeating Ideal Pleasure NZ 0.4m $4.40 (Fr1) Menangle 1609m (1:52.4) R7893 race Jul 20. Two wins in past three runs keep her in the mix in this field.

Race comment

Finished 10.5m 7th $4.60 (Fr5) Outrageous El NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.0) C9+ race May 11 then eased early when 24m 8th $31 (Fr8) Ideal Pleasure NZ Menangle 1609m (1:50.5) R70114 race Jul 13. Poor effort when resuming last start and might need more racing to reach full fitness.

Race comment

Eased early when 13.5m 5th $11 (Fr10) Ideal Pleasure NZ Menangle 1609m (1:50.5) R70114 race Jul 13 then eased early when 12.5m 6th $6.00 (Fr7) Bronski Belle Menangle 1609m (1:52.4) R7893 race Jul 20. Fitter for recent runs but needs to lift.

Race comment

Handy effort when 8.2m 6th $2.30 (Fr10) Redbank Addi Menangle 1609m the MS-GP3 Frith Stakes (grp3) Jun 22 then solid effort when 4.5m 2nd $3.50 (Fr9) Ideal Pleasure NZ Menangle 1609m (1:50.5) R70114 race Jul 13. Drawn out but has the early speed to lead this field; contender here if able to cross to the pegs early without using too much petrol.

Race comment

Back from a spell. Sound effort when 4.5m 6th $5.00 (Sr) Pure Country USA America 1609m (1:51.4) Fm-Pre race Nov 16 then handy effort when 2.5m 5th $13 (Sr) Shartin NZ America 1609m (1:51.0) claiming race Nov 24. Having first run in Oz but has raced well fresh overseas and has had several recent trials to prepare for this.
