Race comment

Impressive winner $2.10 (Sr1) over Alta Equus 7.5m Bathurst 2260m (1:58.2) R4865 race May 13 then beaten 23.5m 8th $34 (Sr3) Terryrama Bathurst 2260m the GROUP1 Western Region Champs Final (grp1) May 20. Below par last start but much better suited in this company and hard to beat on easy win two back.

Race comment

Eased early and covered extra ground when 0.1m 2nd $3.10 (Fr7) Sputnik Bathurst 2260m (1:59.3) R4870 race May 20 then raced wide early when 0.5m 3rd $9.50 (Fr8) Soldtoyoulady Bathurst 2260m (2:00.5) R5670 race May 31. Close up when 3rd at her last start and stays in the mix.

Race comment

Finished 24m 3rd $51 (Fr2) Aphorism Bathurst 1730m (1:55.3) R5780 race May 17 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 1.2m 4th $51 (Fr4) Soldtoyoulady Bathurst 2260m (2:00.5) R5670 race May 31. Could fill a spot.

Race comment

Used the sprint lane when 6.7m 4th $17 (Fr2) Sputnik Bathurst 2260m (1:59.3) R4870 race May 20 then battled on gamely defeating Karloo Bodacious 0.4m $9.50 (Fr1) Bathurst 2260m (2:00.5) R5670 race May 31. Holding form and is winner of two races at this track; keep safe.

Race comment

Checked at the start and eased early when 11m 7th $81 (Fr4) Beetson Bathurst 1730m (1:54.4) R6694 race May 20 then eased early when 24.5m 5th $81 (Fr4) Rockn And Rolln Bathurst 2260m (1:57.4) R5979 race May 31. Improved by two runs since a spell; further improvement is possible; definite danger.

Race comment

Finished 45m 10th $101 (Fr7) Ranieri NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.5) R5668 race May 3 then raced wide early and eased early when 29.5m 10th $151 (Fr7) La Player Bathurst 1730m (1:56.2) R5671 race May 20. Poor in both recent runs.

Race comment

Sound effort when 6m 3rd $26 (Sr1) Sputnik Bathurst 2260m (1:59.3) R4870 race May 20 then handy effort when 5.5m 3rd $11 (Fr1) La Player Bathurst 2260m (1:58.4) R5670 race May 27. Fair run when 3rd at last start and has each way claims.

Race comment

Finished 17.2m 2nd $3.20 (Sr1) Blaze Edition Bathurst 1730m (1:59.4) R4355 race May 22 then caught the eye defeating Crazy Shippo 3.5m $7.00 (Sr1) Bathurst 1730m (1:59.5) R4855 race May 31. Genuine in the money chance.

Race comment

Very impressive winner $3.70 (Fr3) defeating Princess Danica NZ 14.5m Bathurst 1730m (2:01.0) R4660 race Apr 11 then tightened during running and had a flat tyre when 20m 6th $15 (Fr2) La Player Bathurst 2260m (1:58.4) R5670 race May 27. Mixing form and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Finished 29m 9th $81 (Fr2) Aphorism Bathurst 2260m (1:56.6) R5695 race May 6 then raced wide early and tired over the latter stages when 33.5m 10th $151 (Fr6) Cowgirls N Angels NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:57.9) R5665 race May 22. Hard to fancy here.
