Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 8.7m 4th $16 (Sr1) Nippers Grin Leeton 1758m (2:03.4) R3243 race Jan 24 then checked when beaten 21m 6th $41 (Sr2) Funnily Enough Temora 1635m (2:01.6) R3243 race Feb 4. Poor win record.

Race comment

Tightened during running and blocked for a run late in race when 5.5m 3rd $16 (Fr2) Moonstone Montana Parkes 1660m (1:59.6) R4353 race Jan 26 then sound effort when 8.7m 3rd $2.50 (Fr1) Funnily Enough Temora 1635m (2:01.6) R3243 race Feb 4. Likely leader from this draw and could be in it for a long way.

Race comment

Tightened during running and checked and broke when 32m 9th $6.00 (Sr2) Mach Angelo Bankstown 1740m (2:01.9) R4052 race Jan 24 then broke during running when 60.5m 10th $41 (Sr1) Shezsavvy Penrith 2125m (2:00.5) R4557 race Feb 6. Had genuine excuses past couple and worth an each way ticket on consistent previous form.

Race comment

Back from a spell. Beaten 38.5m 6th $129 (Fr1) College Chapel Bathurst 1730m (1:54.6) 2C0-2C2 race Mar 24 then eased early when 20.5m 7th $52 (Fr5) Salvator Mundi Bathurst 1730m (1:58.1) 2C0-2C1 race Mar 28. Lightly raced runner back from a spell; has fewer convictions than his opponents here and contender on that fact alone.

Race comment

Safely held when 8.2m 2nd $1.60 (Fr2) Jax Tellar Bankstown 2140m (2:06.4) R3647 race Jan 24 then safely held when 6.5m 3rd $5.70 (Sr1) Cocofollownoone Canberra 1770m (2:01.3) R3949 race Feb 2. Thereabouts in recent starts and stays in the mix.

Race comment

First start since spell. Finished 22m 5th $10.00 (Sr3) Superbass NZ Goulburn 1710m (1:56.6) 3C0 race Apr 29 then raced roughly when 25m 6th $18 (Fr4) Dee Double You Bankstown 2140m (2:01.8) 3C0-3C1 race May 10. Back from a spell and while unplaced in 2 previous fresh runs he could bind this easier and goes best at this track and distance (1-1-4); could run well here again.
