Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Handy effort when 8m 4th $6.00 (Sr1) My Ultimate Star Redcliffe 1780m (1:59.3) 2R3945 race Jul 10 then eased early when 4m 2nd $34 (Fr6) Jiggle And Jive Albion Park 1660m the 2F-GP1 Qbred Triad - 2YOF (grp1) Jul 20. Lightly raced runner back from a spell; ran a close second on debut and was placed in Group 1 company against her own age prior to the break; respect.

Raced roughly when 31m 10th $32 (Sr4) Maajida Ballarat 2710m (1:59.3) 3F4867 race Jan 18 then very impressive winner $1.20 (Fr3) over Marni White 37m Albury 2170m (2:02.8) 3F4859 race Feb 14. Two wins from four starts this prep; on the improve and stays in the mix despite class rise.

Handy win $1.80 (Fr10) over Gee Gee Blinxs 3.2m Menangle 1609m (1:51.8) R4960 race Jan 25 then eased early when 19.7m 3rd $4.80 (Fr8) Dr Susan NZ Menangle 2300m (1:55.7) 3F5080 race Feb 8. Racing consistently and a sound each way chance.

Used the sprint lane when 5m 3rd $9.00 (Fr1) Jiggle And Jive Albion Park 1660m (1:52.1) R5163 race Jan 25 then fought on well defeating Jamies Bad Boy NZ 0.2m $16 (Sr1) Albion Park 2138m (1:56.4) R5359 race Feb 11. Place preferred in this grade.

Finished 5m 3rd $13 (Fr3) Vincenzina Menangle 1609m (1:51.8) R4960 race Jan 25 then covered extra ground and raced wide when 12.7m 7th $4.00 (Fr4) Delightful Angel Penrith 1720m (1:57.7) 3F4754 race Feb 6. Take on trust.

Race comment

Raced wide early, tired over the latter stages and tightened during running when 79m 10th $7.60 (Sr2) Dr Susan NZ Tabcorp Park 2760m the 3F-GP1 Victoria Oaks (grp1) Jan 25 then was a handy winner $1.90 (Fr6) defeating Manassa Sky 2m Bendigo 2150m (1:58.2) R6378 race Feb 13. Has solid win record (82% from 11 starts) and undefeated in 3 runs in this distance range; close to peak fitness now and hard to beat.

Race comment

Eased early, broke during running and had a flat tyre when distanced 9th $2.70 (Fr9) Lilymadimac Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R4959 race Jan 28 then beaten 13m 7th $11 (Fr6) Jenden Strike Menangle 1609m (1:50.8) R5668 race Feb 11. Unlikely to trouble top raters.

Race comment

Convincing win over Manly Boy 10.5m $1.30 (Fr3) Dubbo 1720m (1:59.6) R4958 race Dec 26 then won $2.50 (Fr2) narrowly defeating Cobbity Chic 0.2m Dubbo 1720m (1:58.0) R5768 race Jan 22. Tougher here but hard to knock 4 from 4 win record.

Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 17.5m 5th $158 (Sr4) Dr Susan NZ Tabcorp Park 2760m the 3F-GP1 Victoria Oaks (grp1) Jan 25 then won $4.10 (Fr5) narrowly defeating Alice Kay 0.5m Tabcorp Park 2240m (1:57.6) 3F5366 race Feb 8. Drawn poorly but can't ignore on last start win.

Race comment

Eased early and broke during running when distanced 10th $151 (Fr6) Dr Susan NZ Menangle 1609m the 3F-GP2 Raith Memorial 3YOF (grp2) Jan 11 then broke during running when 50m 9th $41 (Fr1) Dr Susan NZ Menangle 2300m (1:55.7) 3F5080 race Feb 8. Well beaten in both runs this prep.
