Race comment

Raced wide early when 11m 3rd $3.80 (Fr6) Gone Way Back Bathurst 2260m (1:59.1) R5569 race Mar 4 then eased early when 17m 4th $41 (Fr6) Bettor Enforce NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.2) R65111 race Mar 14. Consistent in four runs this prep and winner fifth up last campaign.

Race comment

Solid effort when 4m 2nd $34 (Fr7) Bettor Jiggle Bathurst 1730m (1:54.7) R5769 race Feb 26 then held on well when 4.5m 6th $26 (Fr1) Molly Kelly Menangle 1609m (1:52.9) R6291 race Mar 14. Holding form fairly well and contender here on narrow win at this track four back.

Finished 14.7m 10th $7.00 (Sr2) Alpha Styx NZ Albion Park 1660m (1:55.2) C4-C5 race May 8 then inconvenienced when 4.5m 4th $9.50 (Fr4) Gold Onyx Young 2100m (2:00.3) R6683 race Mar 17. Just out of the placings last start and winner of 3 from 4 at a similar stage in her prep; drawn poorly but can't dismiss on second up form.

Race comment

Broke during running when 36m 8th $17 (Fr3) Uncle Jord Bathurst 1730m (1:54.6) R5771 race Dec 26 then raced wide early when 4.2m 3rd $41 (Fr4) Gracie Taljuice Bathurst 1730m (1:55.0) R6266 race Mar 18. Caught the eye resuming last start and proven second up.

Race comment

Finished 9m 5th $34 (Fr4) Bettor Jiggle Bathurst 1730m (1:54.7) R5769 race Feb 26 then eased early and failed to get a clear run when beaten 14m 6th $61 (Fr5) Catch A Moment Bathurst 1730m (1:58.8) R5963 race Mar 18. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Finished 8.2m 4th $7.00 (Sr1) Caribbean Jack Parkes 1660m (1:58.5) R5665 race Feb 23 then tightened during running, checked and broke and checked when beaten 25m 5th $18 (Sr3) Ima Dad Canberra 2170m (2:01.2) R5464 race Mar 9. Could fill a spot.

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 10.5m 7th $13 (Sr2) Dazzle Me NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:56.9) R5764 race Dec 4 then eased early and used the sprint lane when 5m 5th $8.00 (Fr8) Gracie Taljuice Bathurst 1730m (1:55.0) R6266 race Mar 18. Sound run when first-up last start and should be fitter for that run.

Race comment

Eased early when 18.5m 9th $126 (Fr9) Sociable NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) R6191 race Mar 14 then eased early when 19.5m 9th $101 (Fr3) Havtime NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.5) R6076 race Mar 21. Overall form consistent and a must for the exotics.
