Newcastle R7 GARRARDS HORSE & HOUND PACE

Race comment

Hung in during the race and raced roughly when 5.2m 4th $23 (Fr5) Bettor Back Louey Penrith 1720m (1:59.8) 3R4450 race Feb 13 then beaten 13m 7th $6.00 (Sr1) No Risk No Return Penrith 2125m (2:02.2) R3848 race Feb 20. Lightly raced and while still learning about racing has shown enough to be a real chance in this field.

Race comment

Checked when 40.5m 6th $34 (Fr2) Domande Newcastle 2030m (2:01.3) 3R4250 race Feb 15 then tired over the latter stages when 54m 7th $151 (Fr1) Fire And Sword Newcastle 1609m (1:55.5) 3R4156 race Feb 21. Poor win record.

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 4.2m 5th $51 (Fr2) Robyn Taylor Newcastle 1609m (1:58.1) R4247 race Feb 21 then inconvenienced when 3m 4th $3.20 (Fr5) Shakeitup Newcastle 1609m (1:59.1) R3545 race Feb 24. Thereabouts in recent starts and has each way claims.

Race comment

Ran 13.5m 6th $4.20 (Fr8) Sweet Creation Newcastle 2030m (2:02.3) R3445 race Feb 17 then sound effort when 11.5m 6th $3.20 (Fr4) White Wash Armidale 1609m (2:01.2) R3147 race Feb 23. Below par in recent starts but not out of it on solid win four back.

Finished 13.5m 3rd (Fr3) Bandsix Penrith 1720m (2:00.5) R4049 race Jan 30 then ran 14.2m 8th $31 (Sr2) No Risk No Return Penrith 2125m (2:02.2) R3848 race Feb 20. Tends to mix his form but capable on his day.

Race comment

Broke at the start when distanced 10th $34 (Fr10) Rumours Hurt NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.4) R4459 race Feb 15 then eased early when 25m 5th $126 (Fr9) Miss Ciriello Newcastle 2030m (1:57.3) R4160 race Feb 24. Fitter for recent racing and could improve.

Race comment

Finished 8m 3rd $17 (Fr2) Spunky Little Ozzy Newcastle 2030m (2:01.8) R3746 race Feb 1 then tightened during running and checked and broke when distanced 8th $81 (Fr1) Make Haste Newcastle 2030m (1:58.0) R4553 race Feb 21. Take on trust.

Race comment

Hung in during the race, tightened during running and suffered a severe check when 41m 8th $81 (Sr1) Vincero Penrith 2125m (2:01.1) R3546 race Feb 13 then hung in during the race when beaten 6.5m 5th $6.00 (Fr1) No Risk No Return Penrith 2125m (2:02.2) R3848 race Feb 20. Even run last start and could figure here with a clean run.
