Raced wide early when 6m 3rd $13 (Fr4) Letterkenny Boy Canberra 2170m (2:01.6) R5465 race Feb 2 then looked good defeating Crime Time 3.2m $2.30 (Sr1) Canberra 2170m (2:00.5) R5461 race Feb 10. Has found form again and gets a soft draw here.

Race comment

Eased early and failed to get a clear run when 18.2m 6th $16 (Fr8) Ideal Breeze NZ Goulburn 2240m (1:58.2) R5368 race Jan 19 then eased early when 22m 9th $12 (Fr8) Rockn And Rolln Bathurst 2260m (1:59.2) R6174 race Jan 29. Fitter for recent racing but will need to lift ratings to figure.

Eased early when 10.5m 6th $41 (Fr6) Come Cullect Menangle 1609m (1:53.0) R5491 race Feb 4 then inconvenienced when beaten 6.5m 4th $26 (Fr3) Two Ply NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.3) R7184 race Feb 11. Could fill a spot.

Race comment

Ran 14m 8th $81 (Sr3) Major Roll Junee 2170m (2:02.5) R6584 race Jan 26 then sound effort when 7.2m 5th $62 (Sr1) Father Bob Canberra 2570m (2:01.0) R6680 race Feb 2. Mixing form but not out of it on close second three back.

Race comment

Finished 27.5m 8th $31 (Fr5) Fairy Tinkabell NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.6) R6070 race Jan 28 then beaten 18m 9th $151 (Fr1) Mach Da Vinci NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.3) R5167 race Feb 11. Winner at her only previous run at his course and distance but recent city form poor.
