Race comment

Resuming. Finished 29.5m 7th $7.50 (Fr5) Abitmorebliss Menangle 1609m (1:53.8) R4663 race Jul 6 then fought on very well when 1.2m 2nd $4.60 (Fr6) Starzzzinthe Cross Newcastle 1609m (1:55.6) R4452 race Jul 15. Resuming after a break should not pose a problem as he is a proven performer first-up (2 from 3) and also proven at this track and distance; has tactical speed to overcome the wide gate.
