Race comment

Back from a spell. Covered extra ground when 4m 2nd $1.20 (Sr1) Strike Lightfire Penrith 1720m (1:57.2) R4555 race Oct 24 then very impressive winner $1.20 (Fr3) defeating Britney Jane NZ 28m Tamworth 1980m (2:00.7) R5155 race Nov 7. Resumes here followng an excellent campaign winning 4 of her past five runs ; hard to beat here on that form .

Race comment

Handy effort when 9m 7th $4.40 (Sr3) Yourockanna Leeton 1758m (2:00.1) R4864 race Jan 10 then tightened during running and failed to get a clear run when beaten 6.5m 6th $6.00 (Fr6) Mac Toddy NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:58.1) R4269 race Jan 17. Freshened up and has performed well in the past when on the fresh side having placed on debut; each way .

Impressive winner $2.60 (Fr6) over Always A Duchess 7m Newcastle 2030m (2:03.0) R4252 race Feb 7 then held on well when 5.5m 3rd $14 (Fr6) Michelle Lee Mac Newcastle 2030m (1:57.6) R5066 race Feb 15. Racing well at present and has the fitness advantage over his main rival; definite contender.

Race comment

Solid effort when 9.5m 5th $26 (Fr2) Court On The Edge NZ Newcastle 2550m (2:01.3) R5467 race Feb 1 then good run when 2m 3rd $9.00 (Fr9) Rumours Hurt NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.4) R4459 race Feb 15. Does not win out of turn but usually thereabouts; in the mix for the wider exotics .

Race comment

Finished 1.2m 3rd $71 (Fr2) Masons Delight NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:56.6) R5461 race Jan 10 then out of position at the start and suffered gear malfunction when 55.5m 10th $5.50 (Fr7) Rizado Newcastle 1609m (1:56.2) R5561 race Jan 25. Take on trust .

Solid effort when 5.5m 4th $31 (Fr6) Masons Delight NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.9) R5875 race Jan 25 then sound effort when 5m 3rd $15 (Fr1) Platinum Revolution NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.1) R6096 race Feb 1. In the money chance again .
