Race comment

Raced wide early and failed to get a clear run when 9.5m 8th $14 (Fr4) Wongalea Charli Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:56.4) R4852 race Feb 25 then held on well when 4.2m 4th $3.70 (Fr1) Nationaldraft Echuca 1755m (1:59.9) R4451 race Mar 3. Could figure in the money here.

Race comment

A comfortable winner $12 (Fr7) defeating Sky Magic 6.7m Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:56.3) R3954 race Feb 11 then solid effort when 5m 3rd $5.50 (Sr1) Bettorbetbig Coolamon 1760m (1:59.7) R4751 race Mar 1. Drawn poorly but contender nevertheless on solid recent form.

Inconvenienced when 17.5m 7th $41 (Sr1) Plumpton Road Young 1720m (2:00.9) R3949 race Feb 18 then beaten 6m 4th $41 (Sr3) Roll A Dream Coolamon 1760m (2:00.4) R3044 race Mar 1. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Tightened during running and tired over the latter stages when 67m 10th $15 (Fr4) Miss Fandango NZ Wagga Paceway 2270m (2:01.4) R4150 race Feb 11 then raced well when 0.2m 2nd $6.50 (Fr2) Funnily Enough Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:59.9) R4047 race Feb 25. Caught the eye last start with an good second and likely leader here; could be hard to go past with an easy run.

Race comment

Inconvenienced when 19m 9th $11 (Fr1) Dancing In America Junee 2170m (2:04.9) R4955 race Jan 18 then eased early and checked and broke when 29.5m 10th $81 (Fr6) Im Ok Leeton 1758m (1:59.6) R4965 race Jan 24. Needs to find best.

Raced wide early, raced roughly and broke under pressure when 45.5m 8th $26 (Fr6) Yourshoutrocky Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:55.2) 2R3961 race Jul 26 then beaten 18.7m 7th $19 (Fr4) The Irish Eagle Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:56.1) 3R4857 race Feb 28. Lightly raced and fitter for the first up run; has place one from two second up.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when distanced 10th $13 (Fr7) Sheza Mamacita Wagga Paceway 2270m (1:57.9) R4953 race Feb 21 then out of position at the start and raced wide early when 26m 8th $14 (Fr8) Gold Starzzz Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:56.6) R5155 race Feb 28. Keeps missing the start and could improve with cleaner getaway.
