Battled on gamely defeating Classic Grange 1m $2.30 (Fr4) Penrith 1720m (1:58.6) R4252 race Feb 20 then beaten 4.5m 3rd $1.50 (Sr1) La Perla Bella NZ Penrith 1720m (1:56.5) R4955 race Feb 27. Suited these conditions and in the mix on sound recent form.

Race comment

Handy effort when 10.7m 7th $13 (Sr4) Semi Sensation Penrith 1720m (1:58.7) R4953 race Feb 6 then very impressive winner $1.30 (Fr8) defeating Davids Hope 16.2m Bathurst 2260m (1:59.4) R4150 race Mar 4. Lightly raced last start winner; has upside and could go on here.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 12.7m 7th $41 (Fr5) Flirtatious Heart Penrith 2125m (2:00.0) R5460 race Feb 20 then inconvenienced when beaten 20.5m 4th $7.00 (Sr3) La Perla Bella NZ Penrith 1720m (1:56.5) R4955 race Feb 27. Needs to lift again.

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Eased early and raced wide late when 6m 5th $3.10 (Fr6) Hair Razor Yarra Valley 2150m (2:00.9) R5255 race Dec 13 then beaten 32.5m 6th $4.70 (Fr1) Georgie Martin NZ Shepparton 2190m (2:00.0) R5257 race Dec 24. Back from a spell and he has placed 1 from 3 fresh; could repeat.

Race comment

Resuming. Finished 15.5m 7th $34 (Fr1) Overcharged NZ Penrith 1720m (1:57.1) R5461 race Dec 5 then eased early and tired over the latter stages when 85m 8th $111 (Fr5) Ideal Fantasy Canberra 2170m (2:00.0) R5360 race Dec 15. Resuming here and could need this run.

Race comment

A comfortable winner (Fr2) over Mister Wilbur 10.7m Bathurst 1730m (2:00.7) R3848 race Jan 6 then handy effort when 7m 3rd $1.50 (Sr2) Joes Redemption Bathurst 2260m (1:58.8) R4555 race Mar 2. Racing consistently and drawn suitably; not out of it.

Race comment

Won $19 (Fr4) narrowly defeating Red Terror NZ 0.5m Penrith 1720m (1:57.3) R4653 race Feb 13 then beaten 10.2m 3rd $34 (Sr2) Smoothe Style Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R3857 race Feb 20. Not hopeless on current form.

Race comment

Checked when 14.7m 3rd $5.50 (Sr1) So Jack Penrith 1720m (1:57.3) R4653 race Feb 13 then good run to place 2m 2nd $151 (Fr3) Smooth Deal NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.2) R5060 race Feb 18. Has placed in two of his last three starts and a solid each way chance.

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 9.2m 6th $41 (Fr4) Flirtatious Heart Penrith 2125m (2:00.0) R5460 race Feb 20 then covered extra ground when 10.5m 4th $2.30 (Fr2) Kiamasrosie Newcastle 2030m (2:02.2) R5155 race Feb 28. Could run into place.

Race comment

Beaten 26m 6th $71 (Sr4) La Perla Bella NZ Penrith 1720m (1:56.5) R4955 race Feb 27 then commanding winner $1.40 (Fr6) defeating Allambie 27m Newcastle 2030m (2:00.0) 3R4156 race Mar 6. Easy winner last start and this isn't much harder; can win again.
