Race comment

Raced wide early and broke during running when 87.5m 8th $41 (Fr5) Spunky Little Ozzy Newcastle 2030m (2:01.8) R3746 race Feb 1 then beaten 11m 5th $51 (Fr4) Chillnstylz Newcastle 2030m (2:02.5) R3649 race May 1. Has placed before and could figure again.

Race comment

Eased early when 3.2m 2nd $19 (Fr4) Mylightingfella Newcastle 1609m (1:55.6) R4753 race Apr 6 then eased early when 15.5m 6th $1.90 (Fr8) Wayoutwest Newcastle 1609m (1:59.8) R3450 race May 4. Improved by two runs since a spell; lightly raced and capable of winning this with further improvement.

Race comment

Solid effort when 4.7m 5th $7.00 (Fr8) Better Than Carmer Newcastle 1609m (1:57.7) 3R4150 race Apr 25 then broke under pressure when 1.5m 2nd $5.00 (Fr8) Chillnstylz Newcastle 2030m (2:02.5) R3649 race May 1. Just beaten last start at this course and distance and stays in contention.

Race comment

Back from a spell. Beaten 46.5m 7th $10.00 (Fr3) Oursouthernstar Newcastle 2030m (2:00.7) 3R4454 race Feb 28 then finished 38.5m 6th $23 (Sr2) Kahliadenise Lombo Newcastle 1609m (1:56.2) R4750 race Mar 9. Yet to win but placed in 1 of 3; each way.

Race comment

Finished 22.5m 6th $41 (Fr3) Topsky Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) R4250 race Apr 18 then beaten 24.5m 8th $23 (Fr1) Chillnstylz Newcastle 2030m (2:02.5) R3649 race May 1. Yet to win but placed once and this is not an overly strong field.

Race comment

Finished 26.5m 8th $12 (Sr2) Topsky Newcastle 2030m (2:01.0) R4250 race Apr 18 then beaten 10.2m 4th $23 (Sr2) Chillnstylz Newcastle 2030m (2:02.5) R3649 race May 1. Should not be taken lightly on latest effort.

Race comment

Sound effort when 5.7m 6th $12 (Fr7) Better Than Carmer Newcastle 1609m (1:57.7) 3R4150 race Apr 25 then raced wide early when 3.2m 3rd $7.00 (Fr6) Chillnstylz Newcastle 2030m (2:02.5) R3649 race May 1. Covered extra ground last start; in the mix here with a better run.

Race comment

Handy effort when 6.5m 2nd $6.00 (Sr2) Popstaromar Newcastle 2030m (2:00.3) R4050 race Apr 11 then raced wide early when 32.5m 9th $1.60 (Fr5) Chillnstylz Newcastle 2030m (2:02.5) R3649 race May 1. Mixed form this prep but not out of it on sound second at this track and distance two back.

Race comment

Out of position at the start and eased early when 14m 8th $81 (Fr4) Better Than Carmer Newcastle 1609m (1:57.7) 3R4150 race Apr 25 then inconvenienced and held up for a run early in the straight when beaten 22.5m 7th $31 (Fr2) Chillnstylz Newcastle 2030m (2:02.5) R3649 race May 1. Prefer others.
