Race comment

Was a handy winner $10.00 (Fr8) over Classy Trim 1.7m Newcastle 1609m (1:58.2) R5258 race Jan 17 then caught the eye defeating Spunkys Playing Up 1.7m $4.40 (Fr4) Newcastle 1609m (1:55.4) R4459 race Feb 15. Likely to find this tougher than recent starts but hard to knock recent winning form .

Race comment

Won $19 (Fr6) narrowly over Major Crisis 0.4m Bankstown 2140m (2:02.6) R5870 race Jan 24 then beaten 31m 7th (Sr3) Ohoka Johnny NZ Penrith 1720m (1:56.8) R5458 race Jan 30. Below par last start can't won conseutive races prior and can't dismisss entirely.

Broke during running and checked and broke when 43m 5th $5.50 (Fr1) Leonidas Tamworth 1980m (1:56.3) R5673 race Jan 19 then impressive winner $3.30 (Fr1) over Platinum Revolution NZ 7.2m Newcastle 1609m (1:55.7) R5670 race Feb 7. Had excuses for his only defeat two back from past five starts; definite contender on winning form .
