Race comment

Raced wide early and raced wide when 48m 8th $61 (Fr6) Joonior Brown Bathurst 1730m (1:55.4) R5260 race Jan 17 then held on well when 6m 4th $81 (Fr1) Lochiel NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:55.6) R4758 race Jan 29. Has placed this course and distance and contender on solid win elsewhere three back.

Race comment

Inconvenienced when 2.5m 4th $9.00 (Sr3) Flash In Sam Parkes 1660m (2:00.4) R5053 race Jan 8 then beaten 15m 5th $41 (Sr5) Overpowering Young 1720m (1:58.4) R5155 race Jan 21. Place prospect only.

Race comment

Scored handily defeating Eagle Falls 5.2m $13 (Sr3) Maitland 1646m (1:58.9) R4755 race Jan 3 then beaten 14m 5th $34 (Sr1) Don Kee Penrith 2125m (2:00.1) R5355 race Jan 16. Mixing form and need to take on trust.

Race comment

Raced roughly when 11m 4th (Fr4) Kanena Provlima Bathurst 1730m (1:57.8) R4952 race Jan 6 then caught the eye defeating Soldtoyoulady 6m $2.30 (Sr1) Bathurst 2260m (1:59.1) R4855 race Jan 17. Last start winner at second start this campaign; fitter now and could repeat with a bit of luck from the wide draw.

Race comment

Galloped out when distanced 9th $61 (Fr3) Joonior Brown Bathurst 1730m (1:55.4) R5260 race Jan 17 then was a handy winner $3.10 (Fr4) over Jetset Star NZ 3m Parkes 1660m (1:58.7) R4953 race Jan 26. Comfortable last start winner in similar company and stays in the mix.

Race comment

Won $7.00 (Fr3) narrowly defeating Fumia Reactor 0.4m Parkes 2040m (2:01.4) R4749 race Jan 8 then eased early and held up for a run early in the straight when 10.5m 2nd $13 (Fr4) Lovin Everyday Dubbo 2120m (1:59.3) R5155 race Jan 22. Genuine in the money prospect.

Race comment

Finished 21.5m 6th $23 (Fr4) Golovkin Newcastle 2030m (1:59.8) R4955 race Aug 19 then beaten 36m 9th $51 (Fr1) Talk About Lexy Bathurst 1730m (1:56.1) R4853 race Jan 29. Well beaten when resuming last start and might need more racing.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when distanced 10th $5.00 (Fr3) Sports Runna Parkes 1660m (1:57.8) R4854 race Dec 31 then won $19 (Sr2) narrowly over Gotta Kick 0.4m Bathurst 1730m (2:00.7) R4751 race Jan 17. Among the chances again on last start win at this track and distance.

Race comment

Finished 15.5m 5th $7.50 (Sr2) Rocknroll Dude Bathurst 1730m (1:58.5) R4955 race Dec 4 then eased early when 8.5m 6th $71 (Fr6) Alta Downs Bathurst 1730m (1:56.3) R4757 race Jan 17. Tends to find trouble in his races but not out of it on narrow win three back.

Race comment

Eased early and checked and broke when 20.5m 6th $41 (Fr7) Stone Cracker Goulburn 1710m (1:57.2) R5058 race Jan 3 then inconvenienced when beaten 28.5m 4th $34 (Sr1) For All We Know Goulburn 1710m (1:54.9) R4555 race Jan 19. Improved effort at second run this prep and has scope for further improvement.
