Race comment

Resuming. Very impressive winner $4.60 (Fr3) defeating Gracie Taljuice 18.2m Newcastle 1609m (1:53.3) R6269 race Feb 28 then slow to begin when 2m 3rd $8.00 (Fr3) Leonidas Menangle 1609m (1:51.1) R5992 race Mar 7. Back from a spell and is proven fresh; winner of 4 from 5 at this track and is graded to win again.

Race comment

Tightened during running when 5.7m 2nd $8.00 (Fr6) Lightning Bob Newcastle 2030m (1:59.6) R5068 race May 15 then eased early when 25.5m 7th $14 (Fr7) Roll With Lachlan Newcastle 2030m (1:57.0) R5169 race May 23. Well beaten last start and should not be taken lightly on narrow win this track and distance three back.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 0.5m 2nd $10.00 (Fr5) Elsie Gem Newcastle 2030m (1:59.4) R4669 race May 15 then beaten 17.7m 5th $23 (Sr1) Roll With Lachlan Newcastle 2030m (1:57.0) R5169 race May 23. Could be thereabouts again and could add value to the exotics.

Safely held when 10.5m 4th $1.90 (Fr2) Elsie Gem Newcastle 2030m (1:59.4) R4669 race May 15 then raced well when 8.2m 3rd $23 (Fr6) Roll With Lachlan Newcastle 2030m (1:57.0) R5169 race May 23. Sound in four recent runs and at peak fitness now; contender on solid overall record.

Eased early and held up for a run early in the straight when 26.5m 8th $5.50 (Fr6) Choisir Damour Tamworth 1609m (1:58.7) R5059 race May 17 then tightened during running when 2.2m 2nd $2.60 (Fr4) My Carmen Tamworth 1980m (2:01.5) R4860 race May 28. Three placings from last four starts and worth an each way ticket from a soft draw here.
