Race comment

Fought on very well when 0.5m 2nd $1.30 (Fr2) The Mustang Bathurst 1730m (1:57.6) R5870 race Apr 11 then tightened during running when 13.5m 2nd $1.90 (Fr5) Authoritative Bathurst 1730m (1:55.3) R5769 race Apr 17. Racing well presently and suited in this company; solid winning chance.

Race comment

Eased early, raced wide early and broke during running when 53.5m 8th $71 (Fr8) Dukkah Bathurst 2260m (2:01.4) R5463 race Apr 11 then eased early and inconvenienced when beaten 18m 3rd $101 (Fr8) Shoobee Doo Bathurst 1730m (1:55.4) R5668 race Apr 20. Place chance again.

Race comment

Back from a spell. Very impressive winner $1.30 (Fr2) defeating Shoobees Charm 13m Bathurst 1730m (1:56.0) R5055 race Feb 2 then impressive winner $1.40 (Fr3) over Meraviglia 7.7m Bathurst 1730m (1:57.2) R5059 race Feb 9. Resumes here but a winner of 2 from 4 fresh and contender again despite an awkward draw.

Good effort when 0.5m 2nd $18 (Fr3) Our Uncle Jim Bathurst 1730m (1:57.8) R4963 race Apr 15 then solid effort when 5m 2nd $16 (Fr6) Shoobee Doo Bathurst 1730m (1:55.4) R5668 race Apr 20. Holding form and track and distance suit (2-5-8); each way.

Eased early when 12.2m 8th $15 (Fr5) Mo Chara Bathurst 1730m (1:57.5) R5779 race Apr 5 then slow to begin when 12.5m 8th $81 (Fr2) Our Uncle Jim Bathurst 1730m (1:57.8) R4963 race Apr 15. Prefer others.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $8.00 (Sr2) defeating Presidential Dude 5.2m Bathurst 2260m (2:00.8) R4655 race Apr 15 then beaten 25m 7th $34 (Sr2) Shoobee Doo Bathurst 1730m (1:55.4) R5668 race Apr 20. Not expected to feature.

Race comment

Finished 9m 5th $81 (Sr1) Our Uncle Jim Bathurst 1730m (1:57.8) R4963 race Apr 15 then eased early when 14.7m 6th $26 (Fr7) Our Uncle Jim Bathurst 1730m (1:56.1) R4979 race Apr 22. Fitter for recent runs but needs to lift to figure.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when 6m 2nd $23 (Fr8) Chasing The Wind Bathurst 2260m (1:58.9) R4856 race Apr 15 then scored handily defeating Lotta Laughs 3.5m $1.40 (Fr6) Bathurst 1730m (1:57.8) R4055 race Apr 22. Drawn poorly but not out of it on solid last start win.

Race comment

Handy effort when 9.5m 2nd $1.60 (Sr2) Matamua Bathurst 1730m (2:00.4) R4755 race Apr 11 then handy win $2.40 (Sr1) defeating Curls Joey 2m Bathurst 1730m (1:57.8) R4855 race Apr 17. Last start winner in weaker company and could find this tougher from the second row.
