Race comment

Eased early when 6m 4th $3.80 (Fr7) Dark Terror Bathurst 2260m (1:58.3) R4969 race May 13 then very impressive winner $1.80 (Fr1) over Firestorm Red 13.5m Bathurst 2260m (1:57.8) R5069 race May 20. Drawn poorly but is a last start winner and has also won at this stage in the prep; respect.
