Race comment

Raced wide early and eased early when 9m 6th $5.00 (Fr7) Mo Chara Bathurst 1730m (1:57.5) R5779 race Apr 5 then raced well when 3.5m 3rd $18 (Fr4) Our Uncle Jim Bathurst 1730m (1:57.8) R4963 race Apr 15. Improved effort when 3rd at his last start at this distance and proven at this stage in the campaign; ready to win again.

Eased early when 0.5m 2nd $8.50 (Fr6) Yarraman Bella Bathurst 1730m (1:55.4) R5459 race Apr 1 then eased early and checked when beaten 18.5m 6th $9.50 (Fr6) Dukkah Bathurst 2260m (2:01.4) R5463 race Apr 11. Back in distance but is a winner at this distance range on 3 occasions and is fitter for recent runs.
