Was a handy winner $16 (Fr3) over Midnight Queen 4.2m Bathurst 1730m (1:58.3) R4151 race Mar 4 then covered extra ground when 15m 7th $3.40 (Sr2) Watched From Above Bathurst 1730m (1:58.5) R4252 race Mar 11. Raced wide late last start; good effort to win two starts back.

Back from a spell. Ran 29m 7th $26 (Fr6) Passions Delight Goulburn 1710m (1:57.9) C1-C2 race Jun 10 then ran 23m 5th $18 (Fr4) Breakntherules Goulburn 2240m (1:59.7) C1 race Jun 24. Has raced well fresh and figures as a genuine contender.

Race comment

Handy effort when 8.5m 7th $7.00 (Fr2) Nifty Jolt Temora 2000m (2:02.8) R4955 race Oct 5 then sound effort when 8.2m 6th $21 (Fr2) Montana Zodiac Leeton 1758m (1:59.7) R4852 race Mar 10. Could be ready to improve on first-up run and a placegetter at this distance.

Raced wide early when 14.5m 6th $21 (Fr5) Miss Fandango NZ Wagga Paceway 2270m (1:59.1) R4657 race Feb 21 then raced wide early when 6.5m 5th $3.10 (Fr3) Montana Zodiac Leeton 1758m (1:59.7) R4852 race Mar 10. Covered extra ground early last start and could get a better run here.
