Race comment

Solid effort when 4.2m 4th $2.00 (Fr6) Island Banner Newcastle 1609m (1:55.1) R6775 race Aug 12 then won easily defeating Helix NZ 8m $1.60 (Sr2) Maitland 2422m (1:58.8) R6274 race Aug 26. Last start winner over a longer distance but is proven this distance range and drawn ideally here; can repeat.

Finished 6.2m 4th $34 (Sr1) Stormont Star Penrith 1720m (1:56.1) R6988 race Aug 15 then impressive winner $4.80 (Sr2) over Jimmy The Editor NZ 9m Bankstown 2140m (2:00.3) R6778 race Aug 23. This is tougher than last start but hard to knock current winning form.

Race comment

Back from a spell. Eased early when 11.5m 8th $15 (Fr8) Under Worked NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) claiming race May 14 then out of position at the start and eased early when 15m 7th $10.00 (Fr10) Magic Oats NZ Menangle 2300m (1:56.5) claiming race May 21. Resuming but fresh record sound including 2 wins and 2 minor placings from 6 starts; keep in mind.
