Beaten 12.7m 6th $4.00 (Fr5) Our Chance Todream Newcastle 2030m (2:01.2) R5155 race Oct 4 then eased early when 11.7m 4th $19 (Fr8) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R4655 race Apr 4. Useful fourth when resuming last start and fitter for this; proven at this track and stays in the mix.

Ran 22m 4th $18 (Fr5) Miss Ciriello Newcastle 2030m (1:57.3) R4160 race Feb 24 then scored handily defeating Jodie Podie 3m $3.60 (Fr6) Newcastle 2030m (2:01.1) R4154 race Apr 4. Won last start this track and distance and also won at this stage in an earlier prep; well placed to repeat.

Commanding winner $12 (Fr8) defeating Write About Her 13.2m Newcastle 1609m (2:00.3) R3847 race Mar 28 then broke at the start, raced roughly and failed to get a clear run when beaten 23.5m 8th $23 (Fr4) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R4655 race Apr 4. Take on trust.

Finished 24m 3rd $3.50 (Sr2) Casino Comedy Inverell 2000m (2:06.3) R3956 race Mar 29 then finished 18m 6th $7.50 (Fr3) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R4655 race Apr 4. Below par last start but has each way claims on consistent previous form.

Race comment

Finished 9m 3rd $34 (Fr2) Pilot Pete Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) R5155 race Mar 28 then beaten 0.1m 2nd $8.00 (Fr5) Only When I Play Newcastle 2030m (2:01.3) R4055 race Apr 4. Does not win out of turn but one for the exotics on recent minor placings.

Race comment

Caught the eye defeating Rollin Jayjay 1.5m $7.00 (Fr6) Newcastle 1609m (1:58.8) R4750 race Mar 28 then checked when beaten 32m 9th $23 (Sr2) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R4655 race Apr 4. Mixing form and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Handy effort when 5.5m 3rd $7.00 (Sr2) Kamwood Caesar Newcastle 2030m (1:59.9) R5155 race Mar 21 then handy effort when 4.5m 3rd $16 (Fr2) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R4655 race Apr 4. Improved by two runs since a spell; further improvement is possible; respect.
