Race comment

Broke at the start when 3.7m 4th $7.00 (Fr2) Smooth Deal NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.2) R5060 race Feb 18 then raced roughly when 12.2m 2nd $2.30 (Fr2) Navua Star Menangle 1609m (1:53.4) R5058 race Mar 17. Sound in all four runs this prep and ready to peak; winner at this stage last campaign and could go close again.

Resuming. Finished 21.5m 5th $71 (Fr7) Max Delight Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) 3C2-3C6 race Jun 22 then covered extra ground when 28.5m 8th $151 (Fr4) Rockin Marty Menangle 1609m the 3Y-GP1 Nswb Challenge 3YOC&G (grp1) Jun 30. Proven first-up performer resuming with a good overall record; hard to beat here despite an awkward draw.

Finished 53.5m 4th $126 (Fr3) Perfect Stride NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:56.9) 3R5379 race Mar 23 then eased early and checked and broke when 88.5m 9th $41 (Fr4) Jay Ok Bathurst 2260m the 3YO-LR Gold Chalice Consolation (lr) Mar 28. Unlucky \ last start and fitter now; was placed at this stage last prep and worth an each way ticket.

Finished 31.5m 9th $61 (Fr3) Smoothe Style Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R3857 race Feb 20 then was a handy winner $13 (Fr4) defeating Sport Cadet 2m Penrith 1720m (2:00.6) R3549 race Feb 27. Might find this too tough from an awkward draw.

Race comment

Suffered a severe check and failed to get a clear run when 11m 9th $9.50 (Fr2) Feeling Hall Good Bathurst 1730m (1:59.0) R3350 race Mar 2 then looked good defeating Jack Rocks 2.7m $2.10 (Fr2) Bathurst 2260m (2:01.9) R3251 race Mar 16. Winner last start when second up his first win in 10 starts; needs to repeat.

Race comment

Tightened during running when 28m 7th $7.50 (Fr2) Tsunami Charlie Penrith 2125m (1:58.8) R5255 race Mar 12 then hung out and tired over the latter stages when beaten distanced 8th $101 (Fr7) Crunch Time Bathurst 2260m (1:56.5) 3R4363 race Mar 23. Below par past couple but had excuses and can't dismiss on sound previous form.

Race comment

Tightened during running when 3m 3rd $3.60 (Sr1) Crime Time Canberra 2170m (2:01.3) R4457 race Mar 23 then eased early when 15.5m 8th $8.00 (Fr6) All Good Wagga Paceway 2270m (2:00.6) R5663 race Mar 31. Mixing form and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Finished 3.5m 2nd $17 (Fr6) The Dancer Canberra 1770m (1:59.0) R5355 race Mar 23 then raced wide early when 17.2m 10th $4.20 (Fr5) Jacks Last Hoo Raa Wagga Paceway 2270m (1:59.0) R4855 race Mar 31. Take on trust.

Finished 10.2m 5th $2.10 (Fr2) Lucky Cruz Bathurst 1730m (2:00.1) 3R3950 race Mar 2 then beaten 3m 3rd $5.50 (Fr2) Gigi Bob Penrith 2125m (2:01.8) 3R4353 race Mar 19. Minor place only.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $3.10 (Sr2) defeating Twisted Mistress 5.5m Canberra 1770m (1:59.4) R4151 race Feb 16 then beaten 4.5m 3rd $10 (Sr2) The Dancer Canberra 1770m (1:59.0) R5355 race Mar 23. Drawn poorly but in the money prospect.
