Race comment

By Hes Watching USA out of Kamwood Smarty (nz) facing starter for first time. Unplaced at his latest trial but won at his two prior ones and definite chance here with even luck in running from a wide draw.

Raced wide early when 27m 8th $34 (Fr4) Robob Penrith 2125m (2:02.4) R4650 race Apr 9 then covered extra ground when 24.5m 4th $41 (Fr5) Master Gouda Menangle 1609m (1:55.8) R3350 race Apr 17. Place only on disclosed form.

Race comment

First start since spell. Eased early when 27m 4th $31 (Fr10) Tingiringi Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) 2R3542 race Aug 27 then beaten 15m 5th $5.00 (Fr2) La La Bron Menangle 1609m (1:55.4) 3R3545 race Sep 3. Returning for a second preparation and just outside the placings in her two previous starts; likely to have benefited from the experience and definite contender here if primed.

Eased early when 23.5m 6th $5.00 (Fr9) Tact Tama NZ Menangle 1609m (1:56.1) R3951 race Apr 2 then raced well when 0.1m 2nd $1.40 (Fr1) Robob Penrith 2125m (2:02.4) R4650 race Apr 9. Improved effort when narrowly beaten at his second career start; drawn the pole and definite winning chance with natural improvement.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when distanced 9th $126 (Fr2) Yianni Bathurst 2260m (1:57.1) 3R4660 race Mar 23 then beaten 36m 8th $8.00 (Sr2) Sport Cadet Penrith 2125m (2:02.1) R4750 race Apr 16. Needs to show some form.

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Tired over the latter stages when 75.5m 6th $40 (Fr2) Lexus With A View Menangle 1609m (1:55.0) 2C0-2C2 race Aug 15 then eased early and tired over the latter stages when distanced 9th $115 (Fr5) Goliath Stride Menangle 1609m (1:55.7) C0 race Feb 19. Back from a long spell and could need this run.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when 40.5m 10th $21 (Sr1) Neptunes Warrior Young 2100m (2:04.5) R4654 race Mar 17 then checked and broke and inconvenienced when beaten 34m 7th $18 (Sr2) Power To Bolt Canberra 1770m (2:01.0) R4753 race Mar 23. Victim of circumstances past couple and can't dismiss entirely on close fourth three back.
