Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 5m 2nd $6.80 (Fr1) Power To Bolt Canberra 1770m (2:01.5) R4449 race Feb 2 then good effort to place 3.5m 2nd $13 (Fr2) Go Anne Go Canberra 1770m (2:01.0) R4452 race Feb 16. Sound in four runs this prep and close to peak fitness now.

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Suffered a severe check when 16m 4th $34 (Fr5) Riga Doon NZ Penrith 1720m (2:00.7) R4647 race Dec 5 then sound effort when 5m 3rd $3.80 (Fr3) The Handsome One Canberra 1770m (2:02.9) R4247 race Dec 15. Resuming after a break should not pose a problem as he is a proven performer first-up (1 from 3).

Finished 5m 2nd $11 (Fr4) Cocofollownoone Canberra 1770m (2:01.3) R3949 race Feb 2 then beaten 4m 3rd $15 (Sr2) Go Anne Go Canberra 1770m (2:01.0) R4452 race Feb 16. In the money prospect.

Suffered a severe check when 13.2m 6th $7.30 (Fr6) Silk Banyula Canberra 1770m (2:00.5) R4249 race Feb 10 then broke during running when 21m 6th $16 (Fr2) Heavenly Song Canberra 1770m (1:59.4) R4151 race Feb 16. Broke last start and never threatened; fitter for recent racing and could improve with a clean run.

Checked and broke when 38m 9th $2.30 (Fr1) Plumpton Road Young 1720m (2:00.9) R3949 race Feb 18 then tightened during running and broke during running when 32.5m 8th $8.50 (Fr2) Bettorbetbig Coolamon 1760m (1:59.7) R4751 race Mar 1. Mixed form to date and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Raced roughly and broke during running when 49.5m 9th $2.80 (Sr1) Silk Banyula Canberra 1770m (2:00.5) R4249 race Feb 10 then handy effort when 7.7m 5th $2.90 (Sr2) Courage Lips Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:58.5) R4046 race Feb 25. Twice a winner at this course and distance and has the gate speed to utilise the low draw.

Race comment

Raced wide early and broke during running when distanced 9th $22 (Fr6) Go Anne Go Canberra 1770m (2:01.0) R4452 race Feb 16 then eased early when 24m 8th $23 (Fr7) Ace In Our Pocket Wagga Paceway 2270m (2:01.8) R4048 race Feb 28. Safely held here.

Race comment

Inconvenienced when 12m 5th $84 (Sr3) Silk Banyula Canberra 1770m (2:00.5) R4249 race Feb 10 then raced wide early when 25.5m 7th $26 (Fr5) Heavenly Song Canberra 1770m (1:59.4) R4151 race Feb 16. Looks tested.
