Race comment

Commanding winner $1.60 (Fr8) over He Said She Said 13m Menangle 1609m (1:56.1) R3951 race Apr 2. Easy winner on debut at this track and distance and while up in grade here warrants serious consideration.

Race comment

Hung out when 1.2m 2nd $4.80 (Fr4) Sociable NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) R6191 race Mar 14 then handy effort when 10.2m 8th $23 (Fr6) Molly Kelly Menangle 1609m the GROUP3 Autumn Gift (grp3) Mar 21. Bellow par last start but top 3 finisher in 5 from 6 other career wins; this easier than last start and could bounce back.

Race comment

Hung in during the race when 6.7m 5th $5.50 (Sr3) My Ultimate Louie Bathurst 1730m (1:57.2) R5052 race Dec 26 then scored handily defeating Wha Hae 1.7m $9.50 (Fr2) Menangle 1609m (1:54.5) R5255 race Apr 2. Won this course and distance last start when resuming and has upside.

Race comment

First start since spell. Safely held when 10.5m 6th $5.50 (Fr5) Superbass NZ Albion Park 1660m (1:55.8) 3C0-3C1 race Jun 18 then very impressive winner $1.20 (Fr7) over Makinmefeelgood 17.5m Albion Park 1660m (1:56.4) R4047 race Oct 25. Resuming after a break should not pose a problem as he is a proven performer first-up (1 from 3); watch the betting.

Race comment

Finished 2.5m 3rd $5.50 (Fr7) Big Time Hustler Newcastle 1609m (1:58.8) R4750 race Mar 28 then eased early when 10.2m 2nd $18 (Fr8) Raging Sea Menangle 1609m (1:54.8) R4752 race Apr 2. Does not win out of turn and this is tougher but can't dismiss entirely on current form.

Race comment

Resuming. Broke during running when distanced 5th $11 (Fr5) Bettys Lass Penrith 1720m (1:59.0) 3F4660 race Jul 25 then held up for a run early in the straight and hung in during the race when 4.5m 3rd $19 (Fr6) Mishon Control Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) R4157 race Aug 6. Coming off a break and while unplaced in 3 runs last prep she won on debut two preps back.

Race comment

Finished 10.2m 3rd $34 (Sr2) Smoothe Style Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R3857 race Feb 20 then raced roughly when distanced 10th $34 (Fr4) Tsunami Charlie Penrith 2125m (1:58.8) R5255 race Mar 12. Mixing form lately and need to take on trust.

Race comment

Finished 18.2m 8th $34 (Fr2) Classic Grange Penrith 2125m (1:59.8) R4854 race Mar 19 then eased early and hung in during the race when beaten 6m 2nd $15 (Fr7) Chezmac Menangle 1609m (1:55.7) R4854 race Apr 6. Needs to lift again.

Race comment

Finished 2.5m 3rd $11 (Fr4) Lombo Heaven Penrith 2125m (1:58.2) R5355 race Mar 19 then eased early and covered extra ground when 24m 5th $4.00 (Fr9) Modern Metropolis Menangle 1609m (1:55.0) R4957 race Apr 6. Could fill a spot.

Race comment

Eased early when 17.5m 3rd $18 (Fr8) Yianni Bathurst 2260m (1:57.1) 3R4660 race Mar 23 then impressive winner $1.70 (Fr1) over The Mustang 9.5m Bathurst 2260m the 3YO-LR Gold Chalice Consolation (lr) Mar 28. Lightly raced and winner of two from three this prep was placed in the other; suited in this company.
