Race comment

Very impressive winner $4.60 (Fr1) over Prettycompact 24m Tamworth 1609m (1:59.8) R3653 race Feb 16 then raced wide early and tired over the latter stages when 66m 8th $23 (Fr6) Adrenaline Rush Tamworth 1980m (2:00.7) R3558 race Mar 5. Mixing form but worth keeping safe comfortable win two back.

Solid effort when 11.5m 7th $9.50 (Sr4) Capital Cullect Armidale 1609m (1:59.1) R4957 race Feb 23 then safely held when 6m 5th $6.00 (Sr3) Ima Regal Jet Tamworth 1980m (2:04.3) R4751 race Mar 5. Has the best strike run in this field and not out of it despite below par performances in recent starts.

Resuming from a spell. Raced wide early when 25m 4th $7.50 (Fr4) Jak Magic Bathurst 1730m (1:59.8) R3752 race Dec 4 then beaten 20m 7th $14 (Fr4) Jak Magic Bathurst 1730m (1:59.2) R3852 race Dec 13. Resumes and yet to win in 8 starts but placed 1 from 2 fresh; could figure in the finish.
