Resuming. Raced wide early when 5.5m 3rd $4.20 (Fr7) Wotnow Swanee Newcastle 2030m (2:01.8) R3852 race Sep 28 then caught the eye defeating Ultra Bliss 2.5m $3.20 (Fr4) Newcastle 2030m (2:00.5) R4153 race Oct 4. Resumes here and while unplaced on debut last prep he is proven at this track and distance and could figure from a suitable draw.

Handy win $3.50 (Fr8) over Pilot Pete 1.5m Newcastle 1609m (1:59.3) R5155 race Mar 14 then held on well when 6.5m 5th $7.50 (Sr2) Repartee NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:58.4) R5667 race Mar 21. Could find this easier than last start and solid in two previous runs; can bounce back.

Race comment

Finished 14.5m 4th $14 (Fr8) Mohs Em Down NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:54.7) R5668 race Mar 9 then eased early when 11.7m 4th $23 (Fr4) Catch A Moment Bathurst 1730m (1:58.8) R5963 race Mar 18. Drawn poorly but in the mix on sound recent form.
