Eased early and covered extra ground when 3.7m 3rd $7.50 (Fr6) Controversial NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) C6691 race Aug 6 then eased early and raced wide early when 31m 9th $7.00 (Fr9) Jonah Jones NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) C5590 race Aug 13. Mixing form lately but not out of it on close and unlucky third two back.

Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 0.1m 2nd $4.20 (Fr3) Controversial NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) C6691 race Aug 6 then ran 15m 7th $8.00 (Fr5) The Bettormack NZ Menangle 2300m (1:55.7) C7688 race Aug 13. Has winning form at this course and distance and has claims here on a narrow defeat two back when he had no luck in the straight.

Race comment

Finished 22m 5th $34 (Fr6) Mark Dennis NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.4) C6490 race Jul 30 then hung in during the race, tightened during running and inconvenienced when beaten 10.7m 10th $41 (Fr10) Controversial NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) C6691 race Aug 6. Poor in all three runs this prep but has won fourth up in the past.

Race comment

Handy effort when 11.5m 5th $34 (Fr6) Under Worked NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.4) C5593 race Aug 6 then solid effort when 4m 2nd $7.50 (Fr6) The Bettormack NZ Menangle 2300m (1:55.7) C7688 race Aug 13. Improved effort at second start this prep and winner on 3 from 7 third up; definite contender here despite the wide draw.
