Race comment

Hung out when 0.5m 2nd $2.70 (Fr1) Alta Teresa NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.5) R6186 race Jul 6 then eased early and failed to get a clear run when beaten 29m 7th $101 (Fr6) Commander Kirk Menangle 1609m (1:49.7) R6098 race Jul 27. Drawn well and not out of it on narrow defeat two back.

Race comment

Raced well when 6m 7th $3.30 (Fr7) Cocosfella Menangle 2300m (1:54.8) R6291 race Jul 13 then eased early when 23.5m 4th $11 (Fr7) Commander Kirk Menangle 1609m (1:49.7) R6098 race Jul 27. Improved effort last start when having second run this prep and goes well third up (3-1-4); respect.

Race comment

Looked good defeating Times Stride NZ 1.2m $2.50 (Fr2) Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) R5593 race Jul 23 then covered extra ground when 5.5m 3rd $1.90 (Fr6) Tact Maggie NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.4) R5293 race Jul 30. Has returned to racing in solid form with a win and a third at his last start; yet to miss a place from 2 third up runs and has claims.

Race comment

Finished 10m 3rd $21 (Fr5) Commander Kirk Menangle 1609m (1:52.2) R6388 race Jul 9 then eased early and held up for a run early in the straight when 0.4m 2nd $17 (Fr8) Im The Director NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.0) R6498 race Jul 20. Sound in the money possibility.
