Race comment

Safely held when 11.7m 8th $34 (Fr1) Sputnik Bathurst 2260m (1:59.3) R4870 race May 20 then good run when 0.7m 2nd $3.10 (Sr1) Lucky Cruz Bathurst 1730m (1:59.3) R3747 race May 27. Ran a handy 2nd at his last start and could go one better in this race.

Back from a spell. Raced well when 9m 3rd $19 (Fr5) Bettor Sport Bathurst 1730m (1:58.1) R4150 race Mar 23 then eased early, tightened during running and checked twice in running when 13.2m 8th $18 (Fr6) Arty Pharty NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:58.0) R4248 race Apr 1. Back from a spell and he has placed 1 from 2 fresh; each way.

Raced well when 4.2m 2nd $26 (Fr1) Sporty Frank Bathurst 2260m (2:00.0) 3R3351 race May 13 then fought on very well when 1m 2nd $5.50 (Fr1) Smoking Zak Bathurst 1730m (1:59.5) R3347 race May 27. Another good run last start when second in this class; in the mix.

Race comment

Slow to begin and tired over the latter stages when distanced 8th (Fr8) Dunno Jo Bathurst 1730m (1:59.9) R4255 race Jan 6 then beaten 2.2m 3rd $11 (Fr1) Pale Face Jo Bathurst 1730m (2:01.0) R3947 race May 31. Placed first up last start and proven second up; should not be taken lightly.

Was a handy winner $9.50 (Sr2) defeating Baby Bee Mine 1.2m Bathurst 1730m (2:02.1) R4247 race May 22 then eased early when 0.4m 2nd $4.60 (Fr5) Pale Face Jo Bathurst 1730m (2:01.0) R3947 race May 31. Improving with racing this prep and more improvement still to come.
