Race comment

Good effort to place 2.5m 2nd $2.20 (Fr6) Days End Newcastle 2030m (1:57.2) C6395 race Feb 15 then raced wide early when 5m 2nd $5.00 (Fr6) Tippitinya Penrith 1720m (1:56.6) C6090 race Feb 27. Racing consistently but has found one better at past three runs; each way.

Race comment

Safely held when 7.2m 5th $1.60 (Sr4) Topnotch Mach NZ Penrith 2125m (1:59.0) C5690 race Feb 20 then hung out when beaten 14m 3rd $3.50 (Fr3) Freddy Funk NZ Tabcorp Park 1720m (1:55.9) C7389 race Mar 7. Drawn poorly but holding form fairly well and has claims on consecutive wins in this distance range three and four runs back.

Race comment

Inconvenienced and covered extra ground when 15.7m 5th $18 (Fr5) Glitznglam Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) R5055 race Jan 25 then hung out when 1.7m 2nd $8.00 (Fr2) Fear Cruisin NZ Penrith 2125m (1:57.4) R5260 race Feb 13. Caught the eye last start with an improved effort at this track and distance and drawn ideally; solid winning chance.
