Race comment

Eased early when 0.4m 2nd $9.50 (Fr5) Bettors Pocket NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.1) R6280 race Apr 17 then covered extra ground when 5m 4th $13 (Fr2) Falcon Stride Menangle 1609m (1:52.4) R6576 race Apr 27. Recent form sound and worth including in the wider exotics.

Handy win $8.50 (Sr3) defeating Casino Grin 4.5m Penrith 2125m (1:58.9) R7084 race Apr 16 then eased early when 30m 9th $31 (Fr8) Culture King Menangle 2300m (1:55.8) R6296 race Apr 25. Mixing form and need to treat warily in this grade.

Race comment

Finished 11.5m 4th $61 (Fr1) Replaced Eye Menangle 1609m (1:53.1) R72115 race Apr 18 then eased early when 11.7m 9th $16 (Fr9) Redbelly Jack Menangle 1609m (1:53.4) R6188 race Apr 28. Could earn a minor cheque.

Race comment

Inconvenienced and tightened during running when 5.5m 5th $3.00 (Sr1) Clintal Do Albion Park 1660m (1:54.3) R82108 race Dec 21 then eased early when 20.5m 9th $151 (Fr6) Callmequeenbee Penrith 2125m (1:57.6) R79117 race Apr 9. Second up after a poor fresh run; needs to lift.

Race comment

Good effort to place 1.2m 3rd $10.00 (Fr6) Navua Star Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) R5796 race Apr 4 then sound effort when 5.5m 5th $4.00 (Fr8) Bettors Pocket NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.1) R6280 race Apr 17. Usually thereabouts and likely leader; could be in it for along way if left alone early.

Race comment

Eased early when 5.7m 3rd $5.00 (Fr6) Makoa Menangle 2300m (1:55.3) R6791 race Mar 21 then inconvenienced when beaten 11m 9th $11 (Fr1) Navua Star Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) R5796 race Apr 4. Take on trust.

Race comment

Eased early when 6m 6th $8.50 (Fr8) Total Diva NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.0) R5770 race Apr 7 then failed to get a clear run when 2.2m 2nd $7.50 (Fr2) Im Bruce Almighty Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R6172 race Apr 21. Improved effort at second run this prep and goes well third up (1-2-3); solid each way chance.

Race comment

Good effort when 2.7m 2nd $7.00 (Fr1) Major Cam Albion Park 2138m (1:53.6) R82119 race Apr 18 then beaten 12.2m 4th $3.10 (Fr3) Culture King Menangle 2300m (1:55.8) R6296 race Apr 25. Well graded here and rates highly on close second two back.

Race comment

Hung out when 8.7m 6th $81 (Fr1) Havtime NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.5) R6689 race Apr 18 then eased early, held up for a run early in the straight and inconvenienced when beaten 5.7m 5th $18 (Fr7) Princess Danica NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.5) R5878 race Apr 25. Not on current efforts.

Race comment

Finished 11.2m 4th $81 (Fr8) Masons Delight NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R5673 race Mar 31 then won $8.00 (Fr6) narrowly over Bettor Be Lucky 0.4m Menangle 1609m (1:53.1) R6280 race Apr 17. This is tougher than in recent starts but hard to knock winning form.

Race comment

Eased early when 10.5m 4th $5.00 (Fr7) Jedi Mind Menangle 1609m (1:52.2) R6988 race Apr 2 then eased early when 23m 7th $17 (Fr9) Culture King Menangle 2300m (1:55.8) R6296 race Apr 25. Fitter for two recent runs and has a sound third up record (1-4-5); in the mix.
