Race comment

Eased early and raced wide early when 15m 5th $18 (Fr8) Tact Maggie NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.1) R5776 race Aug 3 then raced well when 4.2m 4th $2.00 (Fr6) Island Banner Newcastle 1609m (1:55.1) R6775 race Aug 12. Holding form well and rates highly on narrow win in stronger company three back.

Sound effort when 7.7m 2nd $7.00 (Fr6) Johnny White NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:58.7) R5388 race Aug 16 then very impressive winner $4.60 (Fr2) defeating Im Major Harry 18.7m Newcastle 2030m (1:57.4) R5971 race Aug 19. Recent form consistent and worth including in the multiples.

Race comment

Looked good defeating Right On With It 2.7m $10.00 (Sr4) Tamworth 1980m (2:03.7) R5967 race Aug 8 then beaten 3.5m 3rd $26 (Fr3) Liukin NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:00.2) R6496 race Aug 19. Not hopeless on current form.

Race comment

Eased early, broke during running and tightened during running when 89.5m 10th $41 (Fr9) Tact Maggie NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.1) R5776 race Aug 3 then solid effort when 7.7m 6th $1.40 (Fr4) Styx Vixen NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:01.3) R6374 race Aug 16. Below par past couple but previous form consistent and has each way claims.

Race comment

Safely held when 10.5m 4th $15 (Fr4) Ferdinand Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) R6386 race Aug 10 then solid effort when 4m 3rd $5.00 (Fr1) Rays Choice Menangle 1609m (1:52.7) R6193 race Aug 17. Drops in grade here and definite contender on last start sound placing.

Finished 12m 6th $41 (Fr4) Dynamic Archie Newcastle 1609m (1:53.7) R7095 race Aug 3 then beaten 18.7m 7th $71 (Fr2) Santannas Rocket NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.1) R7190 race Aug 16. Won't find this easy.

Race comment

Eased early and blocked for a run late in race when 12.5m 11th $14 (Fr8) Blue Blazer NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.8) R6492 race Aug 3 then eased early when 24.5m 7th $6.00 (Fr8) Liukin NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:00.2) R6496 race Aug 19. Fitter for four recent runs and fifth up form useful.
