Race comment

Eased early when 33.5m 6th $5.50 (Fr6) Yarraman Bella Bathurst 1730m (1:57.7) R4150 race Feb 2 then inconvenienced, covered extra ground and tired over the latter stages when beaten 56m 10th $41 (Fr4) Bandsix Penrith 2125m (2:01.0) R4160 race Mar 12. Tends to find trouble in her races and winner of only one race from 18 starts but has gone close in several others; each way.

Beaten 32.5m 7th $34 (Fr4) Tupelo Beach Newcastle 2030m (2:00.0) 3R4156 race Mar 6 then ran 17m 7th $16 (Fr1) Aymar NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:59.5) R4855 race Mar 14. Lightly raced and fitter for recent runs; could improve sharply in this grade.

Race comment

Tightened during running when 17.7m 9th $11 (Fr4) Pelican Fly Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) R4650 race Feb 28 then beaten 18.7m 8th $21 (Sr1) Aymar NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:58.6) R4852 race Mar 9. Below par past couple but won narrowly in similar grade of race three back and could bounce back.
