Race comment

Was a handy winner $1.00 (Fr3) over Rocky Creed 6m Bathurst 1730m (1:54.5) R4954 race Mar 18 then raced wide early when 7.2m 5th $3.10 (Fr5) Rocky Creed Bathurst 1730m (1:53.5) R5469 race Mar 28. Has a record of 5 wins at this course and distance and can bounce back following last start unlucky run.
