Won $5.00 (Fr4) narrowly over Dikerry NZ 0.2m Bankstown 2140m (2:00.1) R7690 race Jan 24 then eased early when 2.5m 2nd $61 (Fr7) Courtsinsession Menangle 2300m (1:55.7) R72115 race Feb 1. Recent form sound and drawn well here.

Raced wide early when 4.2m 2nd (Sr3) Make Way NZ Penrith 1720m (1:56.3) R7890 race Jan 30 then eased early and checked when 5m 2nd $26 (Fr7) Hickstead NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.4) R85100 race Feb 11. Placed at two of last three starts and fitter now; in the mix.

Race comment

Fought on very well when 3.5m 3rd $6.00 (Fr4) Fame Assured Menangle 1609m (1:50.8) R6699 race Feb 1 then raced roughly when 7.7m 7th $3.50 (Fr1) Lucky Lombo Menangle 1609m (1:52.7) R72102 race Feb 8. Mixing form this prep but winner of 2 from 4 at this stage previously; contender again.

Race comment

Eased early and checked when 7.5m 7th $23 (Fr8) Ideal Breeze NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.0) R6684 race Feb 1 then beaten 16.5m 4th $26 (Fr4) Don Boston Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R7589 race Feb 7. Could minor place.

Race comment

Eased early, checked and broke during running when distanced 10th $16 (Fr7) Replaced Eye Menangle 1609m (1:51.5) R73112 race Jan 25 then tired over the latter stages when 91.5m 10th $31 (Fr2) Match In Heaven Menangle 2300m (1:53.3) R72113 race Feb 1. Had excuses past couple and previous form sound; also winner at his only previous run at this track and distance.

Race comment

Galloped out and covered extra ground when 2.2m 2nd $4.00 (Sr1) Major Roll Junee 2170m (2:02.5) R6584 race Jan 26 then galloped out when 41m 7th $4.00 (Fr5) Don Boston Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R7589 race Feb 7. Good run two starts back when placed and a solid win prior; can bounce back here with a cleaner start than when unplaced last start.

Race comment

Finished 29.5m 9th (Sr2) Make Way NZ Penrith 1720m (1:56.3) R7890 race Jan 30 then beaten 42m 9th $81 (Fr8) Don Boston Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R7589 race Feb 7. Poor in both recent runs.
