Young R5 SWSCU YOUNG DERBY

Race comment

Won $1.80 (Fr3) narrowly over Saint Emilion 0.7m Wagga Paceway 1740m the 2Y-GP2 Nswb Challenge 2YOC&G (grp2) Aug 4 then eased early and broke during running when distanced 7th $2.10 (Fr9) Make Haste Newcastle 2030m (1:58.0) R4553 race Feb 21. Had an excuse last start when resuming; has placed second up previously and could improve sharply here with a clean run.

Hung in during the race and broke during running when 48m 9th $21 (Fr3) Perfect Stride NZ Menangle 2300m (1:53.4) 3R5183 race Feb 15 then eased early when 8.2m 6th $14 (Fr4) Perfect Stride NZ Menangle 2400m (1:57.1) R4971 race Feb 29. Already a multiple winner this preparation and could atone for somewhat unlucky runs past couple.

Race comment

Suffered gear malfunction, eased early and inconvenienced when 18.7m 6th $41 (Fr7) Perfect Stride NZ Menangle 2300m (1:53.4) 3R5183 race Feb 15 then inconvenienced when beaten 9m 5th $41 (Fr6) Governor Jujon Menangle 2400m (1:56.8) R5083 race Feb 29. Drawn poorly but definite contender on solid form prior to past couple excusable runs.

Looked good defeating Panther Star 4m $2.20 (Sr1) Bathurst 1730m (1:54.5) R5561 race Feb 16 then eased early when 17.7m 5th $61 (Fr5) Pacifico Dream Menangle 2400m (1:57.2) R5677 race Feb 29. Drops back in grade for this and in the mix on sound win two back.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when 14m 4th $2.50 (Sr1) Kalypso King Parkes 1660m (1:59.1) 3R4452 race Feb 5 then eased early when 17.5m 9th $7.00 (Fr7) Percy Bailey Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) 3R4754 race Feb 15. Fitter for recent runs and was narrowly beaten at this stage last prep; keep safe.

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 22m 2nd $10.00 (Sr2) Gotta Party Doll NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:58.9) R4056 race Feb 19 then won $1.40 (Fr2) narrowly over Dont Tell Phyllis 0.2m Bathurst 2260m (2:01.6) R4155 race Feb 26. Could place again.

Race comment

Finished 0.5m 2nd $3.10 (Sr1) Crime Dont Pay Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:55.2) 3R4755 race Feb 21 then battled on gamely defeating Ab Fab NZ 0.4m $4.20 (Fr8) Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:56.1) 3R4857 race Feb 28. Lightly raced and yet to finish further back than second in 6 career starts; place chance.

Race comment

Finished 0.5m 2nd $1.00 (Fr4) Uroc Skinny Jeans Canberra 1770m (2:00.7) 3R4353 race Feb 10 then fought on well defeating The Irish Eagle 0.5m $2.70 (Fr5) Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:55.2) 3R4755 race Feb 21. Minor place only in this company.

Race comment

Finished 37m 8th $126 (Fr1) Perfect Stride NZ Menangle 2300m (1:53.4) 3R5183 race Feb 15 then was a handy winner $14 (Sr1) over Magnifico To Watch 2m Bathurst 1730m (1:57.2) 3R4754 race Feb 26. Seems to do best at Bathurst.

Race comment

Eased early and covered extra ground when 9.2m 3rd $3.60 (Fr5) Letterkenny Boy Canberra 1770m (1:59.4) R6476 race Feb 16 then eased early when 20m 6th $71 (Fr6) Pacifico Dream Menangle 2400m (1:57.2) R5677 race Feb 29. Overall form solid and not out of it on commanding win three back when resuming; proven fourth up.
