Race comment

Covered extra ground when 7m 6th $2.50 (Sr2) Classic Maker Cranbourne 2080m (2:01.6) C1 race Apr 28 then safely held when 8m 4th $5.50 (Sr1) Obe Joyfull Wagga Paceway 2270m (1:59.6) R3851 race Sep 20. Suited in this field and ran a useful fourth last start when resuming; fitter now and rates highly on best form.

Finished 27.5m 12th $151 (Fr7) Blazin Cracker Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:57.2) R5055 race Aug 20 then eased early and inconvenienced when beaten 48m 11th $101 (Fr6) Im Ok Wagga Paceway 2270m (2:00.9) R5155 race Sep 20. Not fancied on recent form.

Race comment

Ran 13.7m 3rd $19 (Fr1) Father Bob Wagga Paceway 2270m (2:01.6) R5155 race Sep 7 then fought on well defeating Crime Time 0.2m $5.00 (Fr3) Canberra 2170m (2:01.6) R4952 race Sep 24. Racing consistently and drawn ideally here; warrants respect on last start narrow win.

Race comment

Ran 18.5m 4th $4.60 (Fr5) Rnr Windermere NZ Young 2100m (1:59.3) R5053 race Sep 13 then raced well to place 3.2m 2nd $3.50 (Sr2) Obe Joyfull Wagga Paceway 2270m (1:59.6) R3851 race Sep 20. Improved run last start when placed over similar distance and could be close to another win; has claims.

Race comment

Finished 15.2m 9th $4.60 (Fr1) Lucky Iffy Bathurst 2260m (2:00.8) R5568 race Sep 11 then eased early when 49m 8th $51 (Fr8) Joeylew Bathurst 2260m (1:59.0) R5255 race Sep 18. Mixed form this prep and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Beaten 18m 10th $23 (Sr1) Harps Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:55.0) R5355 race Aug 23 then inconvenienced when beaten 8m 3rd $6.50 (Sr1) Overpowering Young 1720m (1:58.8) R4955 race Aug 30. Thereabouts in recent starts and has each way claims.

Race comment

Finished 12.7m 7th $41 (Fr2) Mister Magic Man Young 1720m (1:59.1) R4877 race Sep 13 then beaten 27m 10th $5.00 (Sr1) Rodanthe Nights Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:57.0) R5360 race Sep 20. Chance here on useful second three back.

Race comment

Eased early when 27.5m 3rd $9.00 (Fr6) Roger That Young 2100m (2:00.7) R5563 race Aug 30 then beaten 10m 8th $7.00 (Fr1) Rodanthe Nights Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:57.0) R5360 race Sep 20. Fitter for recent racing and could improve.

Race comment

Suffered gear malfunction and raced wide early when 14.7m 7th $23 (Fr5) Bobby Street Parkes 1660m (1:59.4) R5464 race Sep 15 then was a handy winner $5.00 (Fr1) over Rodanthe Nights 5m Canberra 2170m (2:01.0) R5255 race Sep 24. Drawn poorly but not out of it on solid last start win.
