Race comment

Ran 84.5m 8th $41 (Fr5) Bettor Enforce NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.2) R65111 race Mar 14 then out of position at the start when 10.5m 6th $9.50 (Fr2) Speak No Evil Menangle 1609m (1:50.9) R7395 race Mar 21. Has 6 wins at the distance and 5 at the course; well graded here and could return to best.

Finished 2.5m 2nd $14 (Sr2) Catch A Moment Bathurst 1730m (1:58.8) R5963 race Mar 18 then broke during running when distanced 10th $34 (Sr2) Rocky Creed Bathurst 1730m (1:53.5) R5469 race Mar 28. Goes well at this track and distance and had excuses last start; while this is tougher than in recent runs stays in the mix.

Race comment

Raced well when 8.5m 4th $19 (Fr1) Atomic Red Bathurst 2260m (1:55.8) R70120 race Mar 20 then beaten 14m 4th $41 (Fr1) Atomic Red Bathurst 2260m (1:54.7) R70120 race Mar 28. Third-up here and a winner at this stage of a prep previously; drops in grade from past two runs and could repeat.

Race comment

Back from a spell. Handy effort when 4m 2nd $15 (Fr5) Kleened Out NZ Penrith 2125m (1:57.6) R6579 race Nov 14 then good run when 2.2m 3rd $2.50 (Fr1) Heza Bromac NZ Dubbo 2120m (1:58.9) R72109 race Dec 1. Resuming after a break should not pose a problem as he is a proven performer first-up (1 from 4).

Race comment

Eased early and inconvenienced when 14m 7th $15 (Fr6) Kash Us Back Bathurst 1730m (1:57.4) R6274 race Feb 2 then tired over the latter stages when 74.5m 10th $19 (Sr1) Rockn And Rolln Bathurst 2260m (1:58.4) R5870 race Feb 12. Hard to see troubling main chances.

Race comment

Good run when 2.7m 2nd $5.00 (Fr1) Imthevillagestar Bathurst 1730m (1:55.1) R6677 race Mar 4 then ran 15m 6th $61 (Fr7) Masons Delight NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R5673 race Mar 31. Placed this course and distance two back and drawn well here.

Race comment

Eased early when 8.5m 5th $3.50 (Fr8) Imthevillagestar Bathurst 1730m (1:55.1) R6677 race Mar 4 then eased early when 10.5m 8th $10.00 (Fr6) Sociable NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) R6191 race Mar 14. Chance on best.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when 45m 10th $101 (Fr3) Jeradas Delight Bathurst 2260m (1:57.7) R6584 race Mar 11 then hung in during the race and broke during running when beaten distanced 8th $14 (Fr3) Gold Onyx Young 2100m (2:00.3) R6683 race Mar 17. Others in better form.

Race comment

Looked good defeating Kash Us Back 2.7m $16 (Fr5) Bathurst 1730m (1:55.1) R6677 race Mar 4 then eased early and covered extra ground when 23.5m 8th $9.50 (Fr8) Jeradas Delight Bathurst 2260m (1:57.7) R6584 race Mar 11. Mixing form and need to treat warily from the second row draw.

Race comment

Won $8.00 (Sr1) narrowly defeating Ballachulish 0.4m Coolamon 2210m (1:57.7) R6385 race Mar 1 then broke during running when distanced 8th $81 (Fr1) Atomic Red Young 2480m the GROUP3 Young Cup (grp3) Mar 13. Not hopeless on narrow win two back.
