Race comment

Fought on very well when 1m 2nd $7.50 (Fr7) Glitznglam Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) R5055 race Jan 25 then finished 24m 3rd $23 (Fr5) Deanne Panya NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.7) R5670 race Feb 7. Useful effort when 3rd last start and overall record solid; likely leader from the pole position.

Eased early when 19.5m 8th $2.50 (Fr8) Katamach NZ Goulburn 1710m (1:54.7) R5157 race Jan 19 then fought on very well to place 1.5m 2nd $1.30 (Fr3) Stormy Raider Canberra 2170m (2:03.3) R5460 race Feb 2. Close second last start and drawn well here.

Ran 13.5m 6th $16 (Fr1) Boyd Writer Menangle 1609m (1:52.5) R6472 race Jan 28 then sound effort when 8m 5th $23 (Fr3) Two Ply NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R6371 race Feb 4. Thereabouts in recent runs and close to peak fitness now.

Inconvenienced when 10m 6th $23 (Sr1) Katamach NZ Goulburn 1710m (1:54.7) R5157 race Jan 19 then fought on well defeating Kaybee Starzzz 1m $1.90 (Fr2) Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) R5055 race Jan 25. Up in grade here but drawn suitably and not out of it on latest effort.

Race comment

Checked when 2.5m 4th $13 (Sr1) Stormy Raider Canberra 2170m (2:03.3) R5460 race Feb 2 then beaten 11.5m 3rd $5.50 (Fr4) Angelic Miss Canberra 2170m (2:00.5) R5461 race Feb 10. Could place here.

Eased early when 33.5m 7th $42 (Fr6) Father Bob Canberra 2170m (2:00.5) R5969 race Jan 28 then was a handy winner $12 (Sr2) defeating Stone Cracker 1.5m Canberra 2170m (2:03.3) R5460 race Feb 2. Drawn poorly but is a last start winner and also winner of 2 from 3 at similar stage in the prep.
