Race comment

Raced wide early when 15.2m 5th $15 (Fr9) Thatswhatisaid NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.7) M0 race Jun 30 then ran 20m 10th $41 (Fr4) Maximan NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.0) R71120 race Jul 6. Five time winner in this distance range and much better placed here than in recent races; definite winning chance on best form.

Failed to get a clear run when 15.7m 8th $12 (Fr2) Double Encounter Menangle 1609m (1:52.2) M0 race May 25 then eased early and failed to get a clear run when beaten 11m 8th $23 (Fr7) Eye See Diamonds Menangle 1609m (1:54.0) C4-C12 race Jun 1.

Blocked for a run late in race when 4.5m 6th $41 (Fr3) Return Ace Newcastle 1609m (1:58.5) R6776 race Jul 13 then beaten 20m 7th $23 (Fr2) Glengarry Rose NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.8) R6492 race Jul 20. Could run into minor place.

Won $26 (Fr2) narrowly defeating Gotta Rush 0.2m Newcastle 2030m (1:59.9) R5362 race Jul 15 then beaten 3.5m 5th $9.00 (Fr6) Mista Taptoe Lombo Newcastle 2030m (2:00.0) R5064 race Jul 20. Tougher here than in recent starts but hard to knock recent winning form.

Race comment

Eased early and broke during running when 13.5m 7th $2.90 (Fr6) Rock N Joy Newcastle 1609m (1:59.0) R5892 race Jul 13 then won easily defeating Jimmy The Editor NZ 7.7m $6.00 (Fr1) Newcastle 2030m (1:57.8) R6492 race Jul 20. Has the early speed to overcome the wide draw here and not out of it on latest effort.
