Race comment

Used the sprint lane when 8.7m 5th $3.10 (Fr3) Bye Bye Barbie Shepparton 2190m (1:59.1) R5665 race Oct 9 then raced well when 3.7m 2nd $2.40 (Fr5) Max Power Newcastle 1609m (1:55.6) R4956 race Jun 6. Solid run first up and has won second up; has the gate speed to overcome the wide draw here and could repeat.

Commanding winner $1.90 (Fr7) defeating Allfourbeers 14m Newcastle 2030m (2:02.5) R4154 race May 18 then handy effort when 6.7m 2nd $1.70 (Fr4) Dollys On A Roll Newcastle 1609m (1:57.2) R4955 race Jun 1. Solid at past two runs and even fitter now; has upside.

Impressive winner $1.30 (Fr5) over Rococo 12m Newcastle 1609m (1:58.4) 3C0 race Dec 11 then finished 23m 5th $3.90 (Fr5) Ashleys Blue Chip Newcastle 1609m (1:55.4) R4854 race Jun 15. Winner on debut two back and spelled immediately; resumed with a below par performance when fancied last start; fitter now and not out of it.

Race comment

Finished 14m 2nd $4.60 (Sr2) The Bands Playing Newcastle 2030m (2:02.5) R4154 race May 18 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 17.7m 8th $34 (Sr1) Major Bob Newcastle 1609m (1:55.5) R4855 race Jun 1. Unlucky last start and useful second when resuming prior; place chance.

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Looked good defeating Stylish Grin 1.7m $2.70 (Fr2) Young 1720m (2:04.2) R4253 race Nov 15 then hung in during the race, raced roughly and broke during running when beaten 48.5m 6th $1.60 (Fr1) Gosling In Flight Young 1720m (2:00.5) R4256 race Nov 29. Back from a spell and while unplaced in two previous fresh runs he is proven at this track and distance but draw some concern.
