Fought on very well to place 2m 2nd $2.30 (Fr4) Pilot Pete Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) R5155 race Mar 28 then won $2.80 (Fr6) narrowly over Babyitscold 0.7m Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R4655 race Apr 4. Winner at 2 of past four runs and drawn well here; hard to beat.

Finished 3m 2nd $8.30 (Fr2) Modern Attitude Canberra 2170m (2:00.4) R4455 race Mar 9 then looked good defeating Mini Major 5.7m $4.60 (Fr1) Canberra 1770m (2:01.0) R4753 race Mar 23. Might find this tougher.

Race comment

Resuming. Tightened during running and had a flat tyre when 6.2m 3rd $41 (Fr2) A Gift From Heaven Newcastle 1609m (1:56.6) R5355 race Feb 1 then tired over the latter stages when distanced 10th $13 (Fr3) Repartee NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:01.1) R5055 race Feb 7. Resumes here and could struggle in this company.

Race comment

First start since spell. Battled on gamely defeating Neverhaveiever 0.7m $1.80 (Fr4) Young 1720m (1:58.3) R5266 race Nov 29 then raced wide early when 9m 3rd $1.40 (Fr4) Lucky Nutter Dubbo 1720m (1:59.0) R5966 race Dec 11. Back from a spell and form at the latter stages last campaign solid; contender if primed for this.

Scored handily over Miss Ciriello 6m $1.80 (Fr2) Newcastle 1609m (1:56.7) R5667 race Mar 14 then good run when 0.2m 2nd $4.80 (Sr1) Edie Jaccka NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:59.3) R5672 race Apr 4. Had excuses for only blemish in four starts this prep; proven fifth up but draw some concern.
