Race comment

Ran 26m 9th $8.80 (Sr3) Little Bad John NZ Motukarara 2000m (2:07.1) Mr4352 race Mar 26 then won (Sr) narrowly defeating Miss Paddy Wagon NZ 0.2m Forbury Park 2200m (2:02.1) Mr4650 race Jun 27. Looked good winning first-up and could go on now; respect.

Race comment

Sound effort when 4m 4th $26 (Fr2) Obi One NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R4256 race Jul 23 then raced well when 3m 2nd $6.50 (Fr3) Peraki Lincoln NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.7) R4156 race Jul 30. Does not win out of turn but contender nevertheless on consistent recent form.

Race comment

By Art Major USA out of Labretta Franco NZ having first race start. Trial form moderate.

Race comment

Hung out and raced roughly when 23.5m 6th $3.50 (Sr2) Star Major Penrith 1720m (1:56.5) 3R4358 race Jul 25 then solid effort when 4.2m 2nd $9.00 (Sr1) Mishon Control Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) R4157 race Aug 6. Overall form very good with excuses for only unplaced run in 4 career starts; has claims despite a tricky draw.

Race comment

Finished 23.5m 5th $151 (Fr1) Peraki Lincoln NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.7) R4156 race Jul 30 then beaten 18.7m 8th $151 (Fr1) Mishon Control Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) R4157 race Aug 6. Expected to struggle here.

Race comment

Fought on very well when 3m 2nd $3.80 (Fr2) Besocial Penrith 1720m (1:57.8) R4858 race Jul 25 then raced well when 5.2m 4th $3.20 (Sr3) Tsunami Charlie Penrith 2125m (2:01.3) R4149 race Aug 8. Fitter for two recent runs and has won third up in the past.

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 20m 4th $61 (Fr6) Peraki Lincoln NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.7) R4156 race Jul 30 then held up for a run early in the straight when 8.5m 4th $81 (Fr5) Mishon Control Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) R4157 race Aug 6. Could be thereabouts again.

Race comment

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. Two placings from 4 starts this prep and fitter now; each way.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $3.40 (Fr6) defeating Eagle Uno 5.5m Newcastle 1609m (1:59.6) R4245 race Jul 15 then beaten 36m 11th $71 (Fr9) Battle Chimes Newcastle 1609m (1:54.5) R4552 race Jul 29. Mixing form and need to treat warily.
