Beaten 21m 10th $18 (Fr2) Tippitinya Penrith 1720m (1:56.6) C6090 race Feb 27 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 6.2m 5th $4.40 (Fr4) Star Writer Menangle 1609m (1:55.5) C5694 race Apr 2. A winner from this draw and likes this distance range (6 wins); could return to best.

Scored handily defeating Majestic Major NZ 3.5m $2.90 (Fr4) Penrith 2125m (1:58.2) C5694 race Mar 12 then raced wide early and tightened during running when 2m 3rd $5.00 (Fr10) Star Writer Menangle 1609m (1:55.5) C5694 race Apr 2. Racing consistently but each way preferred from the second row.

Solid effort when 6.5m 6th $10.00 (Fr2) Magic Oats NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) C7890 race Feb 18 then scored handily defeating Ashkii 5m $3.70 (Fr4) Penrith 1720m (1:56.6) C6090 race Feb 27. Drawn poorly but still a contender on solid last start win.

Covered extra ground when 22m 8th $4.40 (Sr3) Hezbuyindiamonds Penrith 2125m (1:57.9) C5690 race Mar 19 then beaten 5m 4th $13 (Fr5) Star Writer Menangle 1609m (1:55.5) C5694 race Apr 2. Needs to lift a notch.

Tired over the latter stages when 45.5m 8th $23 (Sr1) Itz Georgiaonmymind NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:56.1) R6088 race Mar 14 then beaten 24.5m 9th $51 (Fr6) Western Heir Newcastle 1609m (1:55.9) R6185 race Mar 21. Mixing form and could need it easier to feature.
