Eased early when 17.2m 7th $51 (Fr9) Arma The Gun Menangle 1609m (1:51.8) R5786 race Jan 25 then raced wide early when 11m 3rd $6.00 (Fr3) The Mustang Bathurst 1730m (1:56.8) R5665 race Feb 2. Placed twice in past three runs and worth an each way ticket.

Race comment

First start since spell. Raced wide late and checked when 15.5m 7th $8.00 (Fr6) Mymatepog Bathurst 1730m (1:55.9) R6177 race Jul 31 then ran 19.5m 4th $12 (Fr6) Hes Chiming Bathurst 1730m (1:54.3) R5978 race Aug 7. Resuming after a break should not pose a problem as she is a proven performer first-up (1 from 4) and is drawn well here; has claims.

Race comment

Finished 0.2m 2nd $2.40 (Fr1) Our Antonio Rose Dubbo 1720m (1:58.0) R5768 race Jan 22 then raced wide early and covered extra ground when 19.2m 7th $7.00 (Fr6) Rockn And Rolln Bathurst 2260m (1:59.2) R6174 race Jan 29. Had genuine excuses last start and sound placings at previous two runs; could bounce back.

Race comment

Beaten 14.2m 5th $5.00 (Sr3) The Mustang Parkes 2040m (2:02.0) R4862 race Dec 28 then covered extra ground and broke during running when 77.5m 9th $3.90 (Sr2) Gabbys Sportstar Parkes 2040m (2:01.6) R5768 race Feb 5. Third-up and has won 3rd-up previously (1 from 3); not out of it.

Race comment

Raced well when 5.5m 3rd $19 (Fr3) Rock On NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:54.6) R5672 race Jan 17 then ran 17.7m 4th $12 (Sr1) Superbass NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:56.9) R5668 race Jan 29. Just out of the placings last start; could run another useful race here.

Race comment

Eased early when 19.7m 8th $23 (Fr7) Rockn And Rolln Bathurst 2260m (1:59.2) R6174 race Jan 29 then eased early, held up for a run early in the straight and used the sprint lane when 7.7m 3rd $7.00 (Fr5) Kash Us Back Bathurst 1730m (1:57.4) R6274 race Feb 2. In the mix on last start sound third.

Race comment

Finished 11.7m 2nd $6.50 (Fr1) Rockn And Rolln Bathurst 2260m (1:59.2) R6174 race Jan 29 then eased early and inconvenienced when beaten 14m 7th $15 (Fr6) Kash Us Back Bathurst 1730m (1:57.4) R6274 race Feb 2. Take on trust.
