Race comment

Eased early when 31m 10th $151 (Fr4) Jewels Stride Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) R5365 race Jan 21 then eased early, checked and tightened during running when beaten 15.7m 8th $126 (Fr8) Lilymadimac Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R4959 race Jan 28. Below par in recent starts but goes well at this course and distance (2-1-3); can improve sharply without surprising.

Eased early when 15m 8th $71 (Fr5) Barboo Redcliffe 1780m (1:59.1) R4549 race Jan 16 then beaten 7.7m 3rd $21 (Fr1) Whata Reactor Albion Park 1660m (1:56.2) R4449 race Jan 24. Not the worst.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when 49.5m 10th $151 (Fr1) Petes Big Jim Menangle 1609m (1:54.0) R4857 race Jan 14 then raced wide late when 28.5m 9th (Sr4) Bandsix Penrith 1720m (2:00.5) R4049 race Jan 30. Prefer others again.

Race comment

Broke during running when 38.5m 9th $8.50 (Fr5) Typhoon Stride NZ Bankstown 2140m (2:02.6) R5361 race Jan 24 then ran 12.7m 2nd (Fr1) Crystal Stride Penrith 1720m (1:57.6) R5059 race Jan 30. Has placed twice in last four starts and winner at this stage last prep; definite contender from a soft draw here.

Race comment

Raced well when 3m 3rd (Sr) Emmber NZ Cambridge 2200m (1:59.8) Mr4050 race Dec 24 then good run when 1.7m 3rd (Sr) Man Of Action NZ Cambridge 1609m (1:59.1) Mr4050 race Jan 10. Close up when 3rd at last start and is on the improve; can win this with further improvement.

Race comment

Checked when 14.7m 4th $10.00 (Fr2) Strike Lightfire Penrith 1720m (1:59.5) R4850 race Jan 2 then sound effort when 7.7m 3rd $3.20 (Sr4) Mach Angelo Bankstown 1740m (2:01.9) R4052 race Jan 24. Fitter for recent runs and this distance should suit; each way.

Race comment

Finished 29.5m 3rd $21 (Fr1) Chewalla Penrith 1720m (1:57.1) R4455 race Jan 16 then beaten 21m 6th (Sr1) Bandsix Penrith 1720m (2:00.5) R4049 race Jan 30. Could fill a spot.

Race comment

Finished 7.5m 3rd $9.00 (Fr5) Dancing Chick NZ Goulburn 1710m (1:56.6) R4650 race Jan 19 then tightened during running and checked and broke when 32m 9th $6.00 (Sr2) Mach Angelo Bankstown 1740m (2:01.9) R4052 race Jan 24. A minor place prospect.
