Eased early when 11.7m 5th $41 (Fr7) Henry Hu NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.0) R5575 race Jan 21 then raced well when 2m 3rd $13 (Fr6) Boyd Writer Menangle 1609m (1:52.5) R6472 race Jan 28. In the mix on last start improved effort.

Race comment

Scored handily over Major Huss 3.2m $1.00 (Fr3) Bankstown 2140m (2:01.6) R4860 race Jul 19 then eased early when 13.5m 7th $4.00 (Fr6) Surreal NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.9) R5168 race Jan 28. Had a minor excuse first up and not out of it on solid overall win record; also worth noting that he was placed on both previous second up runs.

Race comment

Fought on very well when 0.7m 2nd $13 (Fr6) Ideal Star NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.0) R65120 race Jan 18 then eased early when 1.7m 2nd $2.70 (Fr4) Boyd Writer Menangle 1609m (1:52.5) R6472 race Jan 28. Form consistent at this distance range having won 7 from 30 starts; close to anther win following narrow defeats at past two runs.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 28m 8th $12 (Fr5) Henry Hu NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.0) R5575 race Jan 21 then raced wide early when 12.2m 6th $34 (Fr8) Surreal NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.9) R5168 race Jan 28. Safely held.

Race comment

Hung in during the race when 21m 8th $3.30 (Fr2) Jimison Junee 2170m (2:03.1) R6480 race Jan 18 then beaten 13.5m 6th $16 (Fr1) Boyd Writer Menangle 1609m (1:52.5) R6472 race Jan 28. Mixing form lately but can't dismiss on solid win three back.

Race comment

First start since spell. Convincing winner $2.10 (Fr6) defeating Our Chance Todream 9.7m Newcastle 1609m (1:55.8) R5467 race Nov 16 then eased early when 19.7m 8th $11 (Fr9) Petes Naholo NZ Menangle 1609m (1:55.4) R5670 race Nov 26. Back from a spell and he could need this run.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 23.5m 7th $2.80 (Fr3) Spike Robyn NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.5) R6476 race Jul 3 then out of position at the start when 26.5m 7th $7.50 (Sr2) Mac Almighty NZ Bankstown 2140m (2:00.0) R5779 race Dec 27. Well beaten first up and needs to improve sharply to figure.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when 20.5m 8th $11 (Sr3) Justarumour Maitland 1646m (1:57.1) R6098 race Jan 3 then fought on well defeating Kleened Out NZ 0.2m $61 (Fr3) Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R6282 race Jan 28. Keep safe on latest effort.

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 3m 2nd $3.40 (Sr1) Its Mesmerise NZ Penrith 1720m (2:00.7) R5970 race Jan 2 then sound effort when 11m 4th $3.80 (Fr9) Rain Man NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:59.3) R5576 race Jan 17. Placed first up two back and not disgraced last start; fitter now and suited in this company.
