Broke under pressure when 12m 5th $9.00 (Fr6) Shadow Shark Newcastle 2030m (2:00.8) R5053 race Mar 6 then eased early when 4.7m 4th $12 (Fr6) Tactfilly Magic Newcastle 1609m (1:58.2) R4851 race Mar 14. Just out of the placings last start and has wins over the distance range; could run another useful race here.

Convincing win over Dartesian 11m $4.00 (Fr3) Redcliffe 2040m (2:02.4) R4249 race Mar 11 then beaten 10m 6th $3.70 (Fr6) Moneymatters Armidale 1980m (2:02.0) R4451 race Mar 15. Can't dismiss on solid win two back.

Inconvenienced when 15.5m 5th $4.20 (Sr1) Playing Arkabella Tamworth 1980m (2:02.8) R4655 race Mar 5 then good run when 2.5m 2nd $5.50 (Fr1) Shazam Shannon Armidale 1980m (2:02.7) R5154 race Mar 15. Stays in the mix on consistent recent form.

Race comment

Raced wide early and blocked for a run late in race when 9.7m 8th $16 (Fr7) Yosemite Menangle 1609m (1:56.4) 3F7116 race Feb 15 then finished 35m 7th $23 (Fr3) Pat McGarry Bathurst 1730m (1:57.2) 3R4754 race Feb 26. Lightly raced and could bounce back here following a couple of unplaced runs in less suitable races.

Good effort when 3m 2nd $5.50 (Fr1) My Carmen Tamworth 1609m (1:59.6) R4755 race Feb 16 then beaten 36.5m 7th $4.80 (Sr3) Playing Arkabella Tamworth 1980m (2:02.8) R4655 race Mar 5. Third-up and has a very good third up record (3 from 4).
