Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 15m 8th $7.50 (Sr1) Offthetopofmyhead Penrith 2125m (1:58.9) R7084 race Apr 16 then beaten 17m 7th $26 (Sr4) Modern Metropolis Penrith 1720m (1:56.6) R6180 race Apr 30. Needs to find best.

Race comment

Handy effort when 7.2m 3rd $10.00 (Fr1) Callmequeenbee Penrith 2125m (1:57.6) R79117 race Apr 9 then eased early when 19.5m 6th $34 (Fr5) Timely Sovereign Penrith 2125m (1:58.3) R7394 race Apr 23. In the mix on useful third two starts back.

Race comment

Ran 14.7m 8th $4.20 (Fr2) Loorrim Creek Menangle 1609m (1:51.4) R67117 race Apr 21 then raced wide early when 14.2m 6th $4.40 (Fr5) Elle Yeah Menangle 1609m (1:52.7) R74102 race May 5. Better suited here than in recent starts and could return to winning form.

Race comment

Won $8.00 (Fr6) narrowly over Bettor Be Lucky 0.4m Menangle 1609m (1:53.1) R6280 race Apr 17 then eased early, covered extra ground and raced wide late when 12.5m 8th $34 (Fr10) Gooddealehemily NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) R6393 race May 2. Had excuses last start and contender on narrow win two runs back.

Race comment

Eased early when 6.5m 4th $41 (Fr6) Offthetopofmyhead Penrith 2125m (1:58.9) R7084 race Apr 16 then raced wide early when 5.7m 5th $34 (Fr7) Redbelly Jack Menangle 1609m (1:53.4) R6188 race Apr 28. Ran an even race last start at this distance and worth an each way ticket from a suitable draw here.

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Hung out when 19.5m 7th $41 (Fr1) Foo Fighter NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.6) R5682 race Oct 12 then beaten 14.2m 8th $26 (Fr8) Flying Pegasus Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R6982 race Oct 22. Take on trust.

Eased early when 11.7m 9th $16 (Fr9) Redbelly Jack Menangle 1609m (1:53.4) R6188 race Apr 28 then solid effort when 10.7m 5th $81 (Fr3) Gooddealehemily NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) R6393 race May 2. Could be thereabouts again and one for the exotics.
