Very impressive winner $5.00 (Sr2) over Harbour Town 13m Tamworth 2360m (2:02.1) R5773 race Mar 19 then beaten 15.7m 5th $23 (Sr1) Bohannan NZ Tamworth 2360m (2:01.3) R5776 race Apr 13. Below par last start but this is easier and definite contender on consecutive wins prior.

Race comment

Finished 7.5m 2nd $5.00 (Fr2) Tiger Courage Tamworth 2360m (2:06.0) R5363 race Mar 19 then inconvienced at the start when 13.5m 5th $41 (Sr4) Repartee NZ Tamworth 1980m (2:00.5) R4965 race Apr 13. Drawn poorly but stays in the mix on sound form prior to last start below par performance.

Resuming. Safely held when 9.5m 3rd $1.60 (Fr5) Queens Angel Tamworth 1980m (2:00.4) R5468 race Feb 6 then ran 49m 7th $3.30 (Fr3) Wet My Whistle NZ Tamworth 2360m (2:00.3) R5781 race Feb 16. Back from a spell and while only placed once from 5 fresh runs he has a solid record in this distance range.
