Failed to get a clear run when 3.5m 3rd $15 (Fr2) The Bettormack NZ Menangle 1609m (1:50.9) R71120 race Dec 7 then tightened during running and inconvenienced when beaten 10.2m 8th $2.80 (Fr4) Lucky Lombo Menangle 1609m (1:52.7) R72102 race Feb 8. Has a nice draw and can use early speed to attain a good position early; could improve sharply on first up run.
