Finished 11.7m 10th $151 (Fr5) Delilaah NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) R5270 race Apr 14 then held up for a run early in the straight when 5m 3rd $51 (Fr2) Ohoka Jimmy NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.5) R5174 race May 5. Third-up and has won 3rd-up in an earlier preparation but overall win record moderate.

Race comment

Eased early when 0.5m 3rd $26 (Fr4) Delilaah NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) R5270 race Apr 14 then handy effort when 7.7m 3rd $7.50 (Fr2) Tact Tama NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.6) R4858 race Apr 28. Placed at past three runs and close to another win.

Race comment

Slow to begin when 34.5m 7th $151 (Fr1) Havtime NZ Menangle 1609m the MS-LR 4YO Mares Stakes (lr) Mar 7 then safely held when 5m 2nd $1.40 (Fr7) Fear Cruisin NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.0) R4856 race Apr 27. A winner at this course and distance earlier in the preparation and showed return to form with a sound second last start; could go on in this company.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $17 (Fr5) over Navua Commanche 2.5m Canberra 1770m (1:59.3) R4849 race Mar 23 then beaten 22m 9th $41 (Fr5) Tajie Baby Menangle 1609m (1:54.6) R4656 race May 8. This draw suits having won from this position at Canberra before.

Race comment

Eased early when 24m 10th $81 (Fr5) Ice Pick Angie Penrith 2125m (2:00.6) R4855 race Apr 23 then beaten 21.5m 4th $126 (Fr3) Jaffa NZ Penrith 2125m (1:59.3) R4856 race May 7. Needs to lift a notch.

Race comment

Raced well to place 1.7m 2nd $34 (Sr1) First String Penrith 2125m (1:58.3) R4959 race Apr 23 then eased early when 15.5m 4th $26 (Fr7) Royal Aurora Menangle 2300m (1:56.2) R5269 race May 5. Improving with racing this prep and more still to come.

Race comment

Won $8.50 (Fr6) narrowly over Heidi Boom 0.7m Bathurst 2260m (2:01.6) R4049 race Mar 30 then scored handily defeating Fifteen Aces 1.5m $5.00 (Fr3) Penrith 2125m (2:03.6) R4855 race Apr 30. Racing well but needs to navigate a tricky draw here.
