Safely held when 6.2m 2nd $19 (Fr6) Catch A Moment Menangle 1609m (1:50.6) R6188 race Feb 29 then safely held when 9m 7th $3.10 (Fr8) Molly Kelly Menangle 1609m (1:52.9) R6291 race Mar 14. Good run two starts back when placed and drawn well here; winner at this stage in the campaign and contender again.

Race comment

Inconvenienced when 4.5m 4th $9.50 (Fr4) Gold Onyx Young 2100m (2:00.3) R6683 race Mar 17 then eased early and failed to get a clear run when beaten 4.5m 4th $51 (Fr7) Myra Dawn Bathurst 2260m (1:57.2) R5973 race Apr 1. Third-up and has won 2 from 3 at this stage in the prep; watch.

Race comment

Eased early when 17m 4th $41 (Fr6) Bettor Enforce NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.2) R65111 race Mar 14 then looked good defeating Joetomo 1.2m $3.80 (Sr2) Bathurst 2260m (1:57.2) R5973 race Apr 1. A winner at this course and distance last start suited again; could repeat.

Race comment

Won $15 (Fr7) narrowly over Ring The Till NZ 0.2m Bathurst 2260m (1:57.7) R6584 race Mar 11 then eased early and failed to get a clear run when 5.7m 5th $10.00 (Fr3) Bettor Than Best Bathurst 2260m (1:57.4) R6689 race Apr 1. Mixing form a bit but not out of it on narrow win two back.

Race comment

Eased early when 7m 3rd $13 (Fr6) The Texas Ranger Menangle 2300m (1:57.4) R6295 race Mar 21 then eased early when 3.5m 4th $4.60 (Fr7) Bettor Than Best Bathurst 2260m (1:57.4) R6689 race Apr 1. Just out of the placings last start but draw here is a concern; one for the wider exotics.
