Race comment

Resuming. Fought on very well when 0.7m 2nd $1.20 (Fr7) Robyn Taylor Newcastle 1609m (1:58.1) R4247 race Feb 21 then beaten 27.5m 7th $34 (Sr2) Vincenzina Bathurst 2260m (1:58.3) 3F4768 race Mar 23. Back from a spell and while unplaced in 2 previous fresh runs both his career wins were early in the prep; capable of winning this if primed.

Finished 23.5m 6th $18 (Fr5) Nasholi Newcastle 1609m (1:58.7) R5058 race May 23 then eased early and checked and broke when 62.5m 10th $101 (Fr7) Dollys On A Roll Newcastle 1609m (1:57.2) R4955 race Jun 1.

First start since spell. Easy winner $3.20 (Fr2) over Temora Reactor 9m Young 2100m (2:02.9) R4954 race Oct 22 then broke at the start and raced roughly when 61.5m 7th $2.50 (Fr2) Oscar The Great Canberra 1770m (1:59.7) R5055 race Nov 25. Coming off a long break but has won 2 from 4 fresh; consider if fancied.
