Race comment

Hung outwards near the 1400m when 9.2m 3rd (FT) Vulcan Star Ashburton 2400m (2:01.5) Mr4050 race Jun 2 then good effort when 0.7m 2nd $1.90 (Fr3) Obi One NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R4256 race Jul 23. In the money chance.

Held on well when 1.2m 4th $5.00 (Fr3) Typhoon Stride NZ Menangle 1609m (1:56.3) R4356 race Jul 16 then solid effort when 4m 4th $26 (Fr2) Obi One NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R4256 race Jul 23. Racing consistently and a winner three starts back; not out of it.

Battled on gamely defeating Stefnoli 0.2m $1.50 (Fr5) Menangle 1609m (1:56.3) R4356 race Jul 16 then eased early when 2.5m 3rd $8.00 (Fr9) Obi One NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R4256 race Jul 23. Racing well and well placed here; has strong claims in this but might need some luck from this draw.

Race comment

Won $4.20 (Sr1) narrowly defeating Takinover 0.2m Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) 3R4251 race Jul 15 then failed to get a clear run when 4.5m 6th $8.00 (Fr7) My Blue Heeler Newcastle 1609m (1:58.5) R4957 race Jul 20. Winner two starts back and unlucky last start; could atone if able to get close to the pegs early from this draw.

Eased early when 0.5m 3rd $23 (Fr8) Typhoon Stride NZ Menangle 1609m (1:56.3) R4356 race Jul 16 then eased early when 10.5m 5th $51 (Fr8) Obi One NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R4256 race Jul 23. Sound in all four runs this prep and close to peak now; each way.
