Race comment

Raced well to place 2.2m 3rd $3.60 (Fr6) Still Of The Night NZ Menangle 1609m (1:55.3) R6275 race May 25 then finished 17m 5th $81 (Fr4) Whereyabinboppin Menangle 1609m (1:50.6) R59110 race Jun 6. Good run two starts back when placed and this easier than last start; draw not a significant negative given his racing style and could bounce back.

Raced wide early when 1m 2nd $4.60 (Fr4) Petes Naholo NZ Penrith 2125m (1:59.9) R5062 race Jun 4 then covered extra ground when 10m 4th $10.00 (Sr2) Royal Bengal NZ Penrith 2125m (1:58.5) R5664 race Jun 11. Could sneak a spot.

Eased early and held up for a run early in the straight when 7m 4th $16 (Fr7) Shanocon NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.8) R5662 race Jun 8 then raced wide early and inconvenienced when beaten 11m 5th $16 (Fr5) Royal Bengal NZ Penrith 2125m (1:58.5) R5664 race Jun 11. In the money chance.

Held on well when 11.5m 5th $51 (Sr2) Bettys Lass Penrith 1720m (1:57.4) R5263 race May 28 then handy effort when 11.5m 5th $11 (Sr1) Petes Naholo NZ Penrith 2125m (1:59.9) R5062 race Jun 4. Has winning form at this track and likely leader from this draw; can improve on recent efforts.

Good effort to place 0.4m 2nd $31 (Sr1) Simply Clever NZ Penrith 2125m (1:59.1) R5666 race Jun 4 then eased early when 1.2m 2nd $19 (Fr6) My Casino Belle NZ Penrith 2125m (1:58.1) R5869 race Jun 11. Placed at last two starts and is a 3 times a winner this track and also won at this stage last prep; drawn awkwardly but not out of it.
