Ran 39m 5th $17 (Fr2) Miss Mach Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) 3R4450 race Jan 25 then finished 14.5m 3rd $13 (Fr1) Onahi Delight Newcastle 1609m (1:57.1) R4752 race Feb 17. Third up here and further improvement expected; definite contender from the pole draw.

Race comment

Galloped out when 22m 5th $23 (Fr3) Vantori Hanover Newcastle 2030m (2:04.0) 2R3744 race Jul 6 then raced well to place 0.2m 2nd $3.90 (Fr1) Domande Newcastle 2030m (2:01.3) 3R4250 race Feb 15. Ran a good race when resuming last start and improved second up last prep to finish a close second ; can win this with that sort of improvement.

Race comment

By Bettors Delight USA out of Blazing Solo NZ facing starter for first time. Winner of a recent trial and bears watching.

Race comment

Pulled hard when 14.7m 5th $11 (Sr1) Dealmaker Kilmore 1690m (2:00.1) R4050 race Nov 28 then eased early when 18m 4th $34 (Fr8) Onahi Delight Newcastle 1609m (1:57.1) R4752 race Feb 17. Maiden but has placed 3 from 8 and worth an each way ticket.

Race comment

Finished 31.5m 5th $7.50 (Fr4) Kingston Shannon Newcastle 2030m (2:03.0) R4252 race Feb 7 then tightened during running when 45.5m 5th $23 (Fr5) Bomb Suit NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:00.2) R4550 race Feb 17. Yet to win but placed once and this is not a strong field.

Race comment

Broke during running when 92.5m 6th $71 (Fr1) Fifteen Aces Maitland 1646m (2:03.8) 2C0-2C1 race Apr 20 then checked and broke when 49m 8th $71 (Fr7) Miss Mach Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) 3R4450 race Jan 25. Poor in all three career runs.

Race comment

Checked at the start when 35.5m 4th $101 (Fr3) Bomb Suit NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:00.2) R4550 race Feb 17. Well beaten fourth on debut but did have excuses; could improve with a clear run here.

Race comment

By Fly Like An Eagle out of Chantant Elise facing starter for first time. Past couple trials poor but winner at previous two.

Race comment

Hung out and tired over the latter stages when distanced 10th $81 (Fr9) Kingston Shannon Newcastle 2030m (2:00.9) R4050 race Feb 1 then eased early when 63m 8th $81 (Fr7) Bomb Suit NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:00.2) R4550 race Feb 17. Needs to lift.
