Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 5.2m 4th $9.50 (Fr1) Misterfire Newcastle 1609m (1:56.3) R4762 race Apr 6 then raced well when 0.5m 2nd $2.80 (Fr2) Mickey Ramone Tamworth 1980m (2:00.0) R5055 race Apr 13. Solid second last start and this distance suits.

Race comment

Finished 1.5m 3rd $81 (Fr1) Repartee NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:57.6) R4961 race Apr 6 then beaten 39.5m 9th $51 (Fr2) Audace Newcastle 2030m (1:59.8) R4955 race Apr 11. More needed to figure here.

Race comment

Broke at the start, raced roughly and failed to get a clear run when 23.5m 8th $23 (Fr4) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R4655 race Apr 4 then beaten 13.2m 5th $8.00 (Fr1) Audace Newcastle 2030m (1:59.8) R4955 race Apr 11. Mixing form lately and need to treat warily.

Race comment

First start since spell. Sound effort when 9.7m 4th $5.30 (Fr1) Tiseh Lucky Lady Kilmore 2180m (2:03.1) R4451 race Jan 16 then looked good defeating Classic Arc 4.2m $2.50 (Fr3) Mildura 1790m (2:03.3) R4250 race Jan 31. Back from a spell and she is yet to show up fresh and unplaced from 4 stars at this track and distance.

Race comment

Checked and broke when 1.5m 2nd $3.90 (Sr2) Big Time Hustler Newcastle 1609m (1:58.8) R4750 race Mar 28 then broke during running when distanced 10th $3.00 (Sr1) Only When I Play Newcastle 2030m (2:01.3) R4055 race Apr 4. Broke in running last start and solid in two other recent run; fitter now and could bounce back.

Race comment

Caught the eye defeating Jodie Podie 3m $3.60 (Fr6) Newcastle 2030m (2:01.1) R4154 race Apr 4 then raced wide early when 10.2m 4th $14 (Fr4) Audace Newcastle 2030m (1:59.8) R4955 race Apr 11. Not hopeless on recent form.

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Battled on gamely defeating Barkeeta 1m $3.20 (Fr1) Newcastle 1609m (2:02.2) R4150 race Nov 30 then raced wide early when 56.5m 8th $11 (Fr7) Has The Courage Newcastle 2030m (2:00.6) R4858 race Dec 7. Back from a spell and she was unplaced in two previous fresh runs.

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Eased early and raced wide late when 32m 5th $13 (Fr7) Sheiswatching Newcastle 2030m (1:59.6) C0 race Mar 11 then beaten 13m 5th $51 (Fr2) Castlereagh NZ Bathurst 2790m (2:05.6) T1+ race Mar 23. Resumes here and fresh form useful (1-1-6).

Race comment

Suffered gear malfunction and tightened during running when 24.5m 8th $5.50 (Sr1) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:57.3) 3R4255 race Mar 21 then easy winner $2.00 (Fr6) over Cant Explain It NZ 7m Newcastle 2030m (2:00.5) R4352 race Apr 11. Drawn poorly but still a contender on solid last start win.

Race comment

Eased early when 11.7m 4th $19 (Fr8) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R4655 race Apr 4 then eased early when 7.2m 3rd $8.00 (Fr7) Audace Newcastle 2030m (1:59.8) R4955 race Apr 11. Lightly raced and has won at this course and distance; fitter for recent runs and close to another win but draw some concern.
