Race comment

Ran 16.5m 5th $9.00 (Fr2) Watching You Dream Newcastle 1609m (1:56.4) 3R4051 race Apr 4 then eased early when 13.2m 4th $9.00 (Fr6) Popstaromar Newcastle 2030m (2:00.3) R4050 race Apr 11. Thereabouts in recent starts and the most experienced runner in this field; worth an each way ticket.

Race comment

By Western Terror USA out of Summerhayes facing starter for first time. Drawn well and trial form solid including a last start win.

Race comment

Sound effort when 10.7m 2nd $31 (Fr5) Watching You Dream Newcastle 1609m (1:56.4) 3R4051 race Apr 4 then finished 23.5m 5th $4.20 (Fr2) Popstaromar Newcastle 2030m (2:00.3) R4050 race Apr 11. Has placed in 2 from 6 career starts and fitter for two recent runs; has shown enough to be a winning chance here from suitable draw.

Race comment

Failed to finish behind Rollin Jayjay Newcastle 2030m (2:00.1) R3451 race Mar 21 then beaten 26.5m 7th $26 (Fr5) Topsky Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) R4250 race Apr 18. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Broke during running when 45m 6th $41 (Fr8) Miss Mach Newcastle 1609m (1:57.8) 3R4450 race Jan 25 then out of position at the start and eased early when 20.5m 5th $51 (Fr7) Topsky Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) R4250 race Apr 18. Just out of the placings last start and could fill a spot here.

Race comment

Finished 35m 10th $61 (Fr1) Tiz A Magictime Newcastle 1609m (2:00.3) R3446 race Mar 9 then beaten 39m 10th $151 (Fr1) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:57.3) 3R4255 race Mar 21. Prefer others.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 15m 6th $41 (Fr7) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:57.3) 3R4255 race Mar 21 then eased early when 19m 6th $19 (Fr7) Watching You Dream Newcastle 1609m (1:56.4) 3R4051 race Apr 4. Can't dismiss on debut placing three back.

Race comment

Ran 25m 6th $11 (Fr1) Popstaromar Newcastle 2030m (2:00.3) R4050 race Apr 11 then tightened during running and had a flat tyre when 5.7m 2nd $17 (Fr1) Topsky Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) R4250 race Apr 18. Contender on last start improved run when had few things go against her.

Race comment

Eased early and raced roughly when 31.5m 5th $6.50 (Fr5) Lulu Le Mans NZ Newcastle 1609m (2:02.4) 2C0 race Feb 15 then eased early when 8.5m 3rd $61 (Fr6) Topsky Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) R4250 race Apr 18. Well beaten on debut two back and returned with a much better run last start; drawn the second row but could figure again.

Race comment

Back from a spell. Tired over the latter stages when 46.5m 7th $15 (Sr1) Send It Canberra 1770m (2:00.9) 2C0-2C2 race Feb 10. Returning for a second preparation and needs to improve sharply on his only previous run to figure.
