Race comment

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 then handy win $2.60 (Fr2) defeating Captain Rockey 3m Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) R7093 race Aug 17. Holding form very well winning three of the past four races and was unlucky in the other; has a tricky draw but a winning chance nevertheless.
