Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Beaten 18.5m 5th $6.50 (Fr6) Major Chili Penrith 2125m (1:58.3) C2 race May 9 then hung out when beaten 39m 10th $9.50 (Fr5) Valoroso Hanover Penrith 2125m (1:58.5) C2-C3 race May 23. Resumes here but is proven fresh and races well at this track and distance; not out of it.

Race comment

Held on well when 5.2m 2nd $5.00 (Fr2) Rain Man NZ Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R6272 race Aug 1 then raced well when 6.2m 4th $8.50 (Fr3) Flyin Circles NZ Penrith 1720m (1:57.8) R6068 race Aug 8. Winner of 1 from 3 at this course and distance and current form encouraging; each way.

Race comment

Sound effort when 9.2m 3rd $4.40 (Sr1) Colossal Stride Penrith 1720m (1:55.5) 3R4564 race Jul 25 then beaten 22m 2nd $21 (Fr8) Balraj NZ Menangle 1609m (1:49.1) R4864 race Aug 6. Racing in great heart and top contender again despite the tricky draw.

Race comment

Finished 9.2m 4th $3.80 (Fr1) First Fleeter Newcastle 1609m (1:54.7) R6592 race Jul 27 then eased early when 17.5m 8th $19 (Fr3) Rain Man NZ Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R6272 race Aug 1. A place prospect in this.

Race comment

Caught the eye defeating Weona Luke 1.5m $26 (Fr3) Penrith 2125m (1:59.4) R5665 race Jul 11 then tired over the latter stages when 24.5m 7th $26 (Fr2) The Texas Ranger Penrith 2125m (1:59.1) R5669 race Jul 18. Mixing form and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Solid effort when 11m 5th $11 (Fr4) Rain Man NZ Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R6272 race Aug 1 then tightened during running when 19.7m 6th $16 (Fr4) Jimmy The Editor NZ Bankstown 2140m (2:01.0) R5973 race Aug 9. Fitter for three recent runs and is proven fourth up.

Race comment

Eased early when 21m 8th $16 (Fr4) Sky Diamond NZ Penrith 2125m (1:56.8) R6174 race Jul 18 then beaten 13.7m 8th $61 (Sr2) Flyin Circles NZ Penrith 1720m (1:57.8) R6068 race Aug 8. Prefer others .

Race comment

Finished 11.5m 6th $41 (Sr3) Rain Man NZ Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R6272 race Aug 1 then beaten 12m 7th $51 (Sr4) Flyin Circles NZ Penrith 1720m (1:57.8) R6068 race Aug 8. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Eased early when 15.7m 6th $81 (Fr7) Christmas Toyboy NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.1) C2-C3 race Feb 5 then raced wide early when 10.5m 4th $7.00 (Sr2) Rain Man NZ Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R6272 race Aug 1. Proven second up and has the tactical speed to take up a handy position at the bell lap; if able to do so here could be hard to hold out.
