Ran 12.5m 6th $1.20 (Fr1) Total Diva NZ Penrith 2125m (1:58.9) R5164 race Feb 27 then easy winner $1.30 (Fr6) over Matamua 10.5m Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R5268 race Mar 11. Last start winner making it five wins from past six starts; hard to beat here on that record.

Beaten 34.5m 3rd $41 (Fr8) Perfect Stride NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:56.9) 3R5379 race Mar 23 then inconvenienced when beaten 9.5m 2nd $17 (Fr3) Jay Ok Bathurst 2260m the 3YO-LR Gold Chalice Consolation (lr) Mar 28. Holding form fairly well but each way preferred from the second row draw.

Race comment

A comfortable winner $2.90 (Fr3) over Im Alrite 10.5m Dubbo 2120m (1:59.3) R5155 race Jan 22 then tired over the latter stages when 51m 10th $34 (Fr2) The Mustang Bathurst 1730m (1:56.8) R5665 race Feb 2. Back from a spell and she has placed 2 from 3 fresh but likely to find this tougher.

Race comment

Out of position at the start and eased early when 12m 7th $41 (Fr3) The Mustang Bathurst 1730m (1:57.6) R5668 race Feb 19 then beaten 14.5m 9th $81 (Sr1) Bettor Jiggle Bathurst 1730m (1:54.7) R5769 race Feb 26. Take on trust.

Finished 24m 4th $2.40 (Fr3) Crunch Time Bathurst 2260m (1:56.5) 3R4363 race Mar 23 then eased early and checked and broke when 90.5m 10th $31 (Fr7) Jay Ok Bathurst 2260m the 3YO-LR Gold Chalice Consolation (lr) Mar 28. Had genuine excuses last start and is proven at this course and distance (2 from 3); also a winner a this stage in the campaign and stays in the mix.

Resuming. Won $10.00 (Fr1) narrowly over Prince Potter 0.4m Young 1720m (2:00.4) C1 race Nov 30 then beaten 35m 7th $2.20 (Fr1) Blake On Fire Junee 2170m (2:01.1) C2-C3 race Dec 12. Back from a spell and he has placed 1 from 3 fresh; could repeat.

Race comment

First start since spell. Fought on well defeating Renee Dale NZ 0.5m $4.20 (Fr5) Bathurst 1730m (2:01.2) R5670 race Nov 8 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 18.7m 9th $23 (Fr1) Threes A Charm Parkes 1660m (1:59.0) R5563 race Nov 13. Resumes here and fitness the query.

Race comment

Most impressive defeating Ellen Shannon 6.7m $1.80 (Sr3) Parkes 2040m (2:00.3) R4755 race Feb 23 then inconvenienced and broke under pressure when 0.4m 3rd $7.00 (Fr8) Rock Fisherman Bathurst 2260m (2:01.6) R4155 race Feb 26. Up in grade but racing consistently and could add value to the exotics.

Race comment

Inconvenienced when 17m 9th $151 (Fr2) Catch A Moment Bathurst 1730m (1:54.9) R5375 race Feb 9 then tired over the latter stages when 38m 10th $71 (Fr5) The Mustang Bathurst 1730m (1:57.6) R5668 race Feb 19. Needs to lift.
