Race comment

Suffered gear malfunction and broke during running when 12.2m 3rd $1.60 (Fr2) Battle Chimes Tamworth 1980m (1:58.5) R5874 race Jan 19 then broke during running and covered extra ground when 15m 5th $2.70 (Sr1) Hes Perfectly Ideal NZ Bankstown 2140m (2:02.6) R5870 race Jan 24. Could be thereabouts again.

Race comment

Beaten 15.7m 3rd $6.50 (Sr1) Goalkicker Tamworth 1609m (1:57.7) R5469 race Jan 15 then raced well when 5m 3rd $6.00 (Fr2) Its Allabout Alice Tamworth 1980m (1:57.6) R5469 race Jan 23. Drawn poorly but warrants respect on solid recent form.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $1.60 (Fr2) over Moonlight Cruiser 4.2m Newcastle 2550m (2:02.8) R4861 race Jan 17 then handy effort when 4.5m 3rd $3.60 (Fr5) Masons Delight NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.9) R5875 race Jan 25. Has found form again and definite contender on solid win at this track and distance two back.

Race comment

Finished 6.2m 3rd $19 (Fr10) Portalegre NZ Newcastle 2550m (2:02.8) R4861 race Jan 17 then beaten 10.5m 3rd $4.20 (Fr5) Rizado Newcastle 1609m (1:56.2) R5561 race Jan 25. Racing consistently and stays in the mix.

Race comment

Galloped out when 73.5m 10th $9.00 (Fr3) Rumours Hurt NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:58.2) R5258 race Jan 17 then beaten 6.5m 5th $6.50 (Fr7) Shadow Shark Newcastle 2030m (2:00.8) R3958 race Jan 25. Take on trust.

Race comment

Safely held when 10m 3rd $14 (Fr1) Rain Man NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:59.3) R5576 race Jan 17 then eased early when 26.5m 3rd $13 (Fr8) Always A Secret Newcastle 2550m (1:59.5) R6197 race Jan 25. Has placed twice in last four runs and fitter now; has scope for further improvement.

Race comment

Checked when 33m 5th $41 (Fr5) Roll With Lachlan Newcastle 2030m (1:58.4) R5668 race Jan 13 then failed to get a clear run when 11.7m 8th $34 (Fr5) Mac Toddy NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:58.1) R4269 race Jan 17. Racing poorly.

Race comment

Raced well when 2m 3rd $5.00 (Fr7) Mac Toddy NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:58.1) R4269 race Jan 17 then beaten 25m 2nd $8.50 (Fr2) Always A Secret Newcastle 2550m (1:59.5) R6197 race Jan 25. A win and two placings from last five starts is useful form for this.

Race comment

Finished 12m 4th $16 (Fr7) Roll With Lachlan Newcastle 2030m (1:58.4) R5668 race Jan 13 then beaten 2.5m 4th $15 (Fr8) Mac Toddy NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:58.1) R4269 race Jan 17. An each way chance on useful recent form.

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 5.2m 4th $9.50 (Fr6) Leonidas Newcastle 2030m (1:56.7) R5976 race Jan 10 then tightened during running and checked and broke when distanced 9th $31 (Fr5) Battle Chimes Tamworth 1980m (1:58.5) R5874 race Jan 19. Needs to do best to figure.

Race comment

Covered extra ground and broke during running when distanced 10th $9.50 (Fr2) Velocity Stride Newcastle 2030m (2:01.8) R5362 race Nov 30 then out of position at the start when 27m 7th $34 (Fr9) Rizado Newcastle 1609m (1:56.2) R5561 race Jan 25. Others have better claims.
