Race comment

Good effort when 1.7m 2nd $26 (Sr6) Colt Thirty One Albion Park 2680m the GROUP1 Blacks A Fake Queensland Champ (grp1) Jul 20 then out of position at the start when 9.5m 6th $2.50 (Fr10) Cruz NZ Menangle 1609m (1:50.4) R88119 race Sep 14. Warrants respect here on narrow defeat in a Group 1 race in Qld two back.

Fought on well defeating Tiger Tara NZ 0.7m $26 (Fr5) Menangle 2300m (1:54.5) R83120 race Aug 31 then raced wide early when 13.5m 7th $9.00 (Fr8) Cruz NZ Menangle 1609m (1:50.4) R88119 race Sep 14. Not beaten far in this grade three back and stays in the mix.

Eased early when 10m 8th $61 (Fr4) The Black Prince NZ Menangle 1609m the GROUP3 Vic Frost Cup (grp3) Sep 7 then beaten 8.5m 4th $41 (Fr1) Cruz NZ Menangle 1609m (1:50.4) R88119 race Sep 14. Fitter for recent racing but might find this beyond him.

Fought on very well when 0.7m 2nd $1.10 (Fr8) Islandspecialmajor Menangle 2300m (1:54.5) R83120 race Aug 31 then eased early when 16.7m 9th $1.60 (Fr10) The Black Prince NZ Menangle 1609m the GROUP3 Vic Frost Cup (grp3) Sep 7. While unplaced in Group 3 company last start did have a minor excuse and won several Group 1 races last prep; at peak fitness now and ready to win again.

Scored handily over The Space Invader 4m $2.00 (Fr6) Menangle 1609m (1:51.6) R7090 race Aug 31 then beaten 3.2m 3rd $17 (Fr7) The Black Prince NZ Menangle 1609m the GROUP3 Vic Frost Cup (grp3) Sep 7. Up to this level and worth more than a passing thought on last start sound third at this track.

Race comment

Raced wide early, eased early and raced wide late when 3.7m 3rd $17 (Fr5) Tam Major Tabcorp Park 2240m the GROUP2 Breeders Crown Champion 4YO (grp2) Aug 24 then was a handy winner $6.00 (Fr5) over Lexus With A View 1.5m Menangle 1609m the GROUP3 Vic Frost Cup (grp3) Sep 7. Solid efforts in Group company at past two starts and contender here from a similar draw.
