Race comment

Held on well when 8.7m 4th $5.00 (Sr1) Charolais Shannon Bathurst 2260m (2:00.3) R4455 race Mar 11 then raced wide early when 1.5m 2nd $6.00 (Fr8) Scaramucci Bathurst 1730m (1:59.5) R4956 race Apr 5. Narrowly beaten last start over a shorter trip and has a good record in this distance range (3-2-8).

Race comment

Resuming. Hung out, tightened during running and had a flat tyre when 8.2m 4th $1.40 (Fr2) Dont Tell Phyllis Dubbo 2120m (2:02.0) R4953 race Nov 3 then eased early when 16m 6th $13 (Fr7) Amethyst NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:58.0) R4854 race Nov 8. Returning for a second preparation and though unplaced on debut should have benefited from that experience.

Eased early and inconvenienced when 19.7m 7th $51 (Fr6) The Mustang Bathurst 1730m (2:00.1) 2C0-2C1 race May 29 then beaten 31.5m 7th $151 (Fr1) Joes Redemption Bathurst 2260m (1:58.2) 3R4955 race Apr 1. Failed to flatter first-up and needs to lift.

Race comment

Broke during running when 51m 10th $12 (Fr1) Katamach NZ Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:55.2) R5155 race Mar 20 then good run when 0.4m 2nd $9.00 (Fr1) Carinya Gold Bathurst 1730m (1:57.4) R4953 race Apr 1. Solid run last start when second and even fitter now; has scope for further improvement.

Finished 13.2m 4th $5.00 (Fr2) Womenwhiskyngold Bathurst 2260m (2:01.9) R5054 race Mar 30 then eased early when 20m 4th $51 (Fr8) Chasing The Wind Bathurst 1730m (1:57.8) R4655 race Apr 5. Usually thereabouts and worth including in the exotics.
