Race comment

Ran 13.2m 8th $14 (Fr3) Cant Refuse NZ Menangle 2300m (1:54.5) R77118 race May 16 then eased early and held up for a run early in the straight when 9.7m 4th $6.50 (Fr7) Benicio Menangle 1609m (1:51.5) R73114 race May 23. Tends to find trouble in his races but capable on his day and could run well here without surprising.

Finished 11.5m 6th $10.00 (Fr3) Controversial NZ Menangle 2300m (1:55.9) C6991 race May 19 then eased early when 14.2m 9th $41 (Fr4) Seeuinnashville Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) R7186 race May 26. Safely held.

Finished 36m 6th $34 (Fr3) Young American NZ Penrith 2125m (1:57.9) C6194 race May 14 then beaten 2m 2nd $8.00 (Fr1) Elroy Jetson NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.8) C6194 race May 25. Could figure in placings again.

Race comment

Eased early when 7.2m 2nd $101 (Fr4) Make Mine Heaven Menangle 2300m (1:54.1) R7395 race May 16 then covered extra ground, raced wide and tired over the latter stages when 35m 10th $11 (Fr5) Benicio Menangle 1609m (1:51.5) R73114 race May 23. Take on trust.

Race comment

Beaten 21.5m 5th $64 (Fr1) Lochinvar Art Shepparton 1690m (1:53.3) R74108 race May 1 then eased early when 12m 7th $13 (Fr9) Our Wall Street Wolf NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R83118 race May 23. Below par in recent starts but has had some excuses; won consecutive races in not too distant past and the soft draw here should suit; could bounce back.

Race comment

Finished 12.5m 10th $3.10 (Sr1) Tulhurst Ace Albion Park 1660m (1:53.3) R8198 race Apr 11 then eased early when 7m 8th $23 (Fr9) Falcon Stride Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R7292 race May 25. More needed to figure here.

Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 0.4m 2nd $3.80 (Fr1) Casino Tommy Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) R6992 race May 12 then solid effort when 8m 3rd $18 (Fr1) Make Mine Heaven Menangle 2300m (1:54.1) R7395 race May 16. Fitter for recent runs and stays in the mix on placed efforts at past two runs.

Race comment

Good run when 0.4m 3rd $12 (Sr1) Maximus Red Bathurst 1730m (1:57.4) R6490 race May 3 then suffered a severe check when beaten 13.5m 9th $17 (Sr1) Smooth Sailor Bathurst 2260m (2:00.0) R6394 race May 13. Had genuine excuses last start and previous form consistent; should not be taken lightly.

Race comment

Eased early and broke at the start when 8.2m 4th $8.00 (Fr5) Make Mine Heaven Menangle 2300m (1:54.1) R7395 race May 16 then eased early when 15.2m 5th $9.50 (Fr10) Benicio Menangle 1609m (1:51.5) R73114 race May 23. Usually thereabouts and has each way claims.
