Race comment

Ran 34m 9th $81 (Sr3) Roll With Lachlan Newcastle 2030m (1:57.0) R5169 race May 23 then very impressive winner $2.70 (Fr7) over Mister Woodport 13.2m Newcastle 1609m (1:56.6) R4852 race Jun 1. Drawn poorly but still a contender on solid last start win.

Race comment

Broke under pressure when 26m 4th $1.60 (Fr2) Chillnstylz Newcastle 2030m (2:03.6) R3954 race May 18 then eased early and checked and broke when 58.5m 9th $31 (Fr5) Dollys On A Roll Newcastle 1609m (1:57.2) R4955 race Jun 1. Chance on sound win at this track three back.

Race comment

Won $31 (Sr2) narrowly over Wayoutwest 0.1m Newcastle 2030m (2:03.6) R3954 race May 18 then beaten 18.5m 8th $19 (Sr1) Wayoutwest Newcastle 2030m (1:59.7) R4956 race May 30. Mixed form this prep and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Checked and broke when 50.5m 8th $13 (Fr2) Better Than Carmer Newcastle 2030m (2:04.0) R4755 race May 18 then convincing winner $5.00 (Fr5) defeating Rollin Jayjay 10.2m Newcastle 2030m (1:58.2) R3847 race May 30. Easy winner (10m) last start at this course and distance and top contender again despite a sticky draw.

Race comment

Out of position at the start when 26.5m 9th $14 (Fr1) Christian Brother NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:57.2) R4855 race May 4 then beaten 12.5m 7th $6.00 (Fr8) Squatter Shannon Newcastle 1609m (1:59.1) R3847 race Jun 6. Below par in recent starts but solid winner four back and can't dismiss.

Race comment

Eased early when 25m 9th $151 (Fr8) Elsie Gem Newcastle 2030m (1:59.4) R4669 race May 15 then was a handy winner $12 (Fr6) defeating Ponderosa Andrew 2m Newcastle 1609m (2:00.9) R4147 race May 23. Tougher here but hard to knock winning form.

Race comment

Scored handily defeating Wallaroy Boy 2m $2.60 (Fr1) Newcastle 2030m (2:01.1) R3645 race May 30 then beaten 7m 4th $41 (Fr1) Max Power Newcastle 1609m (1:55.6) R4956 race Jun 6. Is 3 from 9 at this course and distance and not out of it on latest of these two back.

Race comment

Galloped out when 17.2m 7th $3.00 (Fr7) Wayoutwest Newcastle 2030m (1:59.7) R4956 race May 30 then beaten 30m 9th $10.00 (Fr8) Max Power Newcastle 1609m (1:55.6) R4956 race Jun 6. Third-up and has won 3rd-up in an earlier preparation; could improve sharply on recent runs.

Race comment

Galloped out when 8m 3rd $3.40 (Fr1) Big Black Diamond Newcastle 1609m (1:58.0) R3450 race May 23 then looked good defeating Rosarito Rock 1.5m $5.00 (Fr4) Newcastle 1609m (1:58.4) R3450 race Jun 1. Genuine in the money prospect.

Race comment

Finished 25m 7th $61 (Sr1) Western Heir Newcastle 2030m (1:58.7) R5069 race May 15 then beaten 19.2m 9th $71 (Fr2) Doubledelightbrigade NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:00.0) R5683 race May 23. Others look in better form.
