Race comment

Raced wide early when 27.5m 11th $41 (Fr7) Madame Annie Bathurst 1730m (1:58.8) 3C0-3C1 race Jun 19 then out of position at the start when distanced 10th $61 (Fr3) Chasing The Wind Bathurst 1730m (1:57.8) R4655 race Apr 5. Well beaten first up and drawn poorly.

Race comment

Tightened during running when 1.5m 3rd $3.80 (Fr6) Cascading Coins Bathurst 2260m (2:03.3) 3R4750 race Mar 30 then eased early when 7.7m 3rd $12 (Fr7) Jack Rocks Bathurst 2260m (2:02.7) R4153 race Apr 8. Has placed at past two runs and could go close here.

Race comment

Solid effort when 9m 3rd $19 (Fr1) Squatter Shannon Bathurst 1730m (1:59.8) R3451 race Apr 5 then solid effort when 7m 3rd $5.50 (Fr2) Watch And Weep Bathurst 1730m (2:03.2) R3447 race Apr 11. Placed in two from past three and could repeat.

Checked when 23.5m 7th $12 (Fr3) Cascading Coins Bathurst 2260m (2:03.3) 3R4750 race Mar 30 then beaten 8m 4th $26 (Fr2) Jack Rocks Bathurst 2260m (2:02.7) R4153 race Apr 8. Just out of the placings last start and could run a useful race here.

Finished 18.7m 6th $12 (Sr2) Our Antonio Rose Young 1720m (1:59.3) 3R4250 race Dec 3 then beaten 20m 7th $101 (Fr1) So Am I Bathurst 2260m (1:59.2) 3R4955 race Apr 8. Failed to flatter first-up but should be fitter for that run.

Back from a spell. Eased early when 13.2m 5th $3.70 (Fr7) Toya Lombo Bathurst 1730m (1:58.3) 3R4550 race Oct 16 then beaten 37m 6th $5.50 (Fr6) Firehouse Bathurst 1730m (1:57.1) 3R4650 race Oct 30. Drawn suitably but needs to lift.

Race comment

Safely held when 9.2m 3rd $19 (Fr6) Yes You May Bathurst 1730m (1:58.0) R4253 race Mar 16 then raced wide early and tired over the latter stages when 33m 7th $2.40 (Sr1) Jack Rocks Bathurst 2260m (2:02.7) R4153 race Apr 8. Had issues last start and previous form sound; could bounce back.

A comfortable winner $3.50 (Fr5) defeating Miss Nea Star 9m Bathurst 2260m (2:02.6) 3F3549 race Mar 16 then sound effort when 9.5m 4th $9.00 (Fr1) Scaramucci Bathurst 1730m (1:59.5) R4956 race Apr 5. Lightly raced and easy winner at this course and distance two back.
