Race comment

Raced well when 6.7m 4th $34 (Fr1) Speak No Evil Menangle 1609m (1:50.9) R7395 race Mar 21 then beaten 26m 6th $10.00 (Fr6) Pitch Perfect NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R5977 race Mar 28. Contender on solid win at this track and distance three starts back.

Race comment

Fought on well defeating Regal Rock NZ 0.5m $7.00 (Fr1) Newcastle 2030m (1:58.7) R5475 race Apr 4 then eased early and failed to get a clear run when beaten 3.5m 5th $41 (Fr6) Ultimate Force Newcastle 1609m (1:57.9) R5770 race Apr 11. Chance on narrow win two back.

Race comment

Handy effort when 8.7m 5th $1.60 (Fr6) Our Chance Todream Newcastle 2030m (1:59.0) R5261 race Mar 6 then good effort when 1.2m 2nd $1.40 (Fr5) Ultimate Force Newcastle 1609m (1:57.9) R5770 race Apr 11. Improved effort last start and even fitter for this; proven at this stage in the campaign (1 from 2) and well placed to win again.

Race comment

Looked good defeating Nikitaras 4m $2.90 (Fr4) Maitland 2044m (2:00.0) R5984 race Jan 3 then finished 14m 4th $3.50 (Sr2) Miss Ciriello Newcastle 2030m (1:59.2) R5568 race Apr 6. Fitter for first up run and has won second up before; dawn poorly but stays in the mix.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 9m 3rd $1.40 (Fr4) Lucky Nutter Dubbo 1720m (1:59.0) R5966 race Dec 11 then broke at the start when distanced 10th $13 (Fr4) Repartee NZ Tamworth 1980m (2:00.5) R4965 race Apr 13. Drops in distance and is a winner in this distance range on two occasions.

Race comment

Scored handily over Yayas Hot Heart 5.2m $5.00 (Fr1) Newcastle 2030m (1:59.2) R5568 race Apr 6 then beaten 1.7m 3rd $7.00 (Fr2) Ultimate Force Newcastle 1609m (1:57.9) R5770 race Apr 11. Genuine in the money prospect.

Race comment

Finished 11.5m 3rd $17 (Fr3) Sadhana NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:54.8) R5355 race Mar 9 then won $3.00 (Fr5) narrowly defeating Just Tommy 0.4m Newcastle 1609m (1:56.3) R4762 race Apr 6. Has returned in solid form with a placing and a last start narrow win but this is tougher.

Race comment

Resuming. Most impressive defeating Crystal Tiara 9.5m $1.40 (Fr3) Tamworth 1980m (1:59.7) R5567 race Nov 7 then galloped out when 72.5m 10th $1.30 (Fr3) Velocity Stride Newcastle 1609m (1:58.2) R5362 race Nov 16. Resumes and can't ignore on fresh form (2-2-5).

Race comment

Good run when 0.2m 2nd $4.80 (Sr1) Edie Jaccka NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:59.3) R5672 race Apr 4 then raced wide early when 25m 9th $5.00 (Sr3) Repartee NZ Tamworth 1980m (2:00.5) R4965 race Apr 13. Minor excuse last start and not out of it on solid previous form.

Race comment

Finished 15.7m 6th $14 (Fr2) Western Heir Newcastle 1609m (1:55.9) R6185 race Mar 21 then beaten 5.2m 2nd $6.50 (Sr1) Miss Ciriello Newcastle 2030m (1:59.2) R5568 race Apr 6. Improved effort at second run this prep and is 1 from 4 third up.
