Handy win $26 (Fr4) over My Secret Beach 1.5m Albion Park 2138m (1:57.4) R5371 race Feb 1 then eased early when 4.7m 4th $101 (Fr6) Colonel Joy Albion Park 1660m (1:54.2) R5785 race Feb 8. Genuine in the money prospect.

Race comment

Checked when 21m 7th $34 (Sr2) Its Allabout Alice Tamworth 1980m (1:57.6) R5469 race Jan 23 then scored handily over Christian Shannon 1.2m $8.00 (Fr2) Tamworth 1980m (2:00.4) R5468 race Feb 6. Drawn poorly but still a contender on solid last start win.

Race comment

Finished 16.2m 3rd $5.50 (Fr2) Irish Grit Tamworth 1980m (1:58.0) R6168 race Dec 12 then beaten 1.2m 2nd $6.00 (Fr4) Queens Angel Tamworth 1980m (2:00.4) R5468 race Feb 6. Good run last start when 2nd at this track and has 4 wins over this distance; drawn the second row and each way preferred.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $1.10 (Fr3) over Mondooley Heaven 4.2m Newcastle 1609m (1:55.1) R6096 race Feb 1 then out of position at the start when 7.2m 2nd $1.30 (Fr9) Deanne Panya NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.7) R5670 race Feb 7. Unlikely starter.

Race comment

Caught the eye defeating Water Master 5.5m $1.30 (Sr2) Tamworth 1609m (1:59.6) R4657 race Jan 15 then tightened during running and inconvenienced when beaten 13.2m 9th $2.80 (Fr3) Smooth Cash Menangle 1609m (1:52.2) R5162 race Jan 25. Below par last start but winner first-up at prior run and fitter now.
