Race comment

Resuming. Handy effort when 5.2m 5th $1.90 (Fr5) Movin Millions Canberra 2170m (1:59.9) R1-R2 race May 21 then finished 21.5m 9th $2.50 (Fr1) Balraj NZ Penrith 2125m (1:58.7) C0 race Jun 6. Back from a spell and he has placed 2 from 3 fresh including a sound second when resuming after a long break last prep; could go one better this time.
