Race comment

Was a handy winner $3.90 (Fr5) defeating Illawong Sunny 3m Menangle 2300m (1:59.7) T3952 race Feb 18 then eased early when 10.7m 3rd $6.00 (Fr1) Gimondi NZ Menangle 2300m (1:59.9) 3T4957 race Feb 25. Has won and placed at past two starts and has upside.

Safely held when 4.5m 4th $9.50 (Fr10) Im Daddy Warbucks Menangle 1609m (1:56.2) 3R5054 race Feb 11 then covered extra ground when 16m 5th $5.50 (Fr8) Gimondi NZ Menangle 2300m (1:59.9) 3T4957 race Feb 25. Lightly raced and proven at this track and distance and at this stage in the prep (1 from 1).

Race comment

Good effort when 3.5m 2nd $15 (Fr3) Elite Stride Bendigo 1650m (1:57.7) R4960 race Feb 20 then began badly when distanced 10th $12 (Fr3) Elite Stride Tabcorp Park 1720m the 3T-GP1 Need For Speed Prince 3YO (grp1) Feb 29. Mixed form to date and need to treat warily.
