Finished 3.2m 4th $26 (Fr4) Pembrooks Passion NZ Menangle 2300m (1:54.3) R5899 race Aug 3 then tightened during running and inconvenienced when 27.5m 7th $2.80 (Sr1) Bracken Sky Bankstown 2140m (2:02.2) R7085 race Aug 9. Place chance best.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $2.50 (Fr1) defeating Golden Year 1.7m Menangle 2300m (1:54.8) R6291 race Jul 13 then raced wide early when 1.7m 3rd $3.30 (Fr5) Im The Director NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.0) R6498 race Jul 20. Racing well presently and suited here; top chance.

Race comment

Handy effort when 10.5m 7th $7.00 (Fr9) Bettor Be Lucky Menangle 2300m (1:56.7) R6493 race Aug 3 then easy winner $4.20 (Fr3) over Blue Moon Rising NZ 7.5m Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) R6386 race Aug 10. Comfortable last start winner at this course and distance and likely leader from the pole draw; contender.

Race comment

Held on well when 11m 7th $3.80 (Fr8) Pembrooks Passion NZ Menangle 2300m (1:54.3) R5899 race Aug 3 then eased early when 14.2m 5th $16 (Fr5) Gods Spirit NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.5) R5697 race Aug 10. Fitter for recent runs and winner of 2 from 4 at similar stage.

Race comment

Tightened during running and held up for a run early in the straight when 8.5m 3rd $8.50 (Fr1) Rain Man NZ Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R6272 race Aug 1 then won $8.50 (Fr3) narrowly over Elect To Rock 0.2m Menangle 1609m (1:54.0) R6092 race Aug 10. Could find this tougher.

Race comment

Finished 0.4m 2nd $9.50 (Fr2) Captain Rockey Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R6196 race Jul 27 then won $3.30 (Fr2) narrowly defeating Bettor To Be Tricky NZ 0.2m Menangle 2300m (1:56.7) R6493 race Aug 3. Narrowly beaten first up two back and winner second up and has run well third up in the past; keep mind.

Race comment

Eased early when 24.5m 9th $4.00 (Fr7) Pembrooks Passion NZ Menangle 2300m (1:54.3) R5899 race Aug 3 then eased early when 10m 2nd $8.00 (Fr8) Gods Spirit NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.5) R5697 race Aug 10. Sound run last start when 2nd at this track and at this distance and has each way claims.

Race comment

Eased early and failed to get a clear run when 29m 7th $101 (Fr6) Commander Kirk Menangle 1609m (1:49.7) R6098 race Jul 27 then raced well when 0.2m 2nd $6.50 (Fr1) Pembrooks Passion NZ Menangle 2300m (1:54.3) R5899 race Aug 3. Usually thereabouts and stays in the mix.

Race comment

Eased early, covered extra ground and raced wide late when 14.2m 9th $4.80 (Fr9) Captain Rockey Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R6196 race Jul 27 then scored handily defeating Golden Year 2.2m $3.10 (Fr6) Menangle 1609m (1:53.8) R6995 race Aug 10. Not out of it following last start win at this track and distance.

Race comment

Scored handily defeating Bracken Sky 2m $1.60 (Fr1) Bankstown 1740m (1:57.5) R7385 race Aug 2 then held up for a run early in the straight when 10.2m 4th $26 (Fr3) Gods Spirit NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.5) R5697 race Aug 10. Can't ignore on consecutive wins prior to last start unlucky fourth.
