Finished 18.7m 7th $51 (Fr2) Meraviglia Penrith 2125m (1:59.3) R4559 race Feb 27 then scored handily defeating Christian Brother NZ 3.2m $5.50 (Fr6) Newcastle 1609m (2:00.1) R4447 race Mar 9. Registered only her second win in 39 starts last time but drawn the pole and not out of it.

Race comment

Ran 25m 6th $3.90 (Fr2) Miss Catalina Tamworth 1980m (2:00.5) R4554 race Jan 19 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 11.2m 3rd $4.80 (Fr1) Aymar NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:58.6) R4852 race Mar 9. Useful run when 3rd at last start and likes the distance; in the mix.

Race comment

Covered extra ground and raced wide late when 22m 8th $16 (Fr3) Kiamasrosie Newcastle 2030m (2:02.2) R5155 race Feb 28 then inconvenienced when beaten 16.2m 6th $18 (Fr5) Shadow Shark Newcastle 2030m (2:00.8) R5053 race Mar 6. Not on current form.

Race comment

Eased early when 13.5m 2nd $7.00 (Fr8) Highland Major Newcastle 2030m (1:58.8) R4750 race Feb 24 then broke under pressure when 12m 5th $9.00 (Fr6) Shadow Shark Newcastle 2030m (2:00.8) R5053 race Mar 6. Could be thereabouts again.

Finished 45m 3rd $151 (Fr3) Make Haste Newcastle 2030m (1:58.0) R4553 race Feb 21 then beaten 9m 2nd $16 (Fr5) Aymar NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:58.6) R4852 race Mar 9. In the money prospect.

Race comment

Finished 4m 4th $31 (Sr1) Flying Teagan Newcastle 1609m (1:59.0) R3846 race Feb 28 then caught the eye defeating Henwood 1.5m $9.50 (Fr4) Newcastle 2030m (2:02.6) R3650 race Mar 6. Not hopeless on latest effort.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when 96.5m 9th $51 (Fr5) Repartee NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:01.1) R5055 race Feb 7 then eased early when 23m 10th $151 (Fr10) Yesnomaybeso Newcastle 1609m (1:55.7) R5260 race Feb 24. Poor in both recent runs.

Race comment

Checked when 0.4m 2nd $7.00 (Sr2) Pelican Fly Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) R4650 race Feb 28 then handy effort when 4.5m 2nd $6.00 (Fr2) Shadow Shark Newcastle 2030m (2:00.8) R5053 race Mar 6. Does not win out of turn but overall form consistent; solid each way hope.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 5.5m 3rd $2.30 (Fr3) Fire And Sword Newcastle 1609m (1:55.5) 3R4156 race Feb 21 then eased early when 11.5m 5th $31 (Fr8) Jerulas Grin Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) 3R4857 race Mar 3. Has won and placed this course and distance and has found trouble in recent starts; could go close here with a trouble free run.
