Race comment

Finished 6m 3rd $17 (Fr3) Deanne Panya NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:58.1) R5670 race Jun 6 then inconvenienced and raced wide early when beaten 16.5m 5th $11 (Fr6) Topsky Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R5762 race Jun 12. Poor win record and minor place preferred.

Race comment

Handy effort when 4.5m 3rd $4.60 (Fr1) Si Si Senor NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:56.1) R6175 race May 30 then good run when 0.4m 2nd $3.30 (Fr1) Regal Rock NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:54.6) R6173 race Jun 12. Holding form well and suited in this company; draw not a significant issue given his racing style.

Race comment

Very impressive winner $2.70 (Fr7) over Mister Woodport 13.2m Newcastle 1609m (1:56.6) R4852 race Jun 1 then handy win $4.20 (Fr8) over Ashleys Blue Chip 3.5m Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R4655 race Jun 12. Consecutive wins at past two runs at this track; up to this grade on current form.

Race comment

Looked good defeating Slingin A Gun 5.5m $3.90 (Fr7) Newcastle 2030m (1:59.4) R4854 race May 30 then beaten 11.5m 7th $15 (Fr3) Nikitaras Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R5767 race Jun 12. Might need it easier.

Race comment

Back from a spell. Broke during running when 66.5m 10th $9.50 (Fr3) Brobenah Boy Junee 2170m (2:04.1) C2 race Jan 27 then broke during running when distanced 10th $51 (Sr2) Love My Sister Wagga Paceway 1740m (1:54.7) C0-C2 race Mar 10. Coming off a long break but has won 2 from 4 fresh; keep safe.

Race comment

Finished 10.5m 7th $23 (Fr3) Dancing In America Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R5884 race Jun 1 then beaten 23.5m 8th $26 (Fr4) Topsky Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R5762 race Jun 12. Safely held here.

Race comment

Checked when 20.5m 7th $31 (Fr2) Babyitscold Newcastle 2030m (2:00.3) R5064 race May 23 then tired over the latter stages when 66m 10th $31 (Fr4) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.7) R5662 race Jun 1. Racing poorly.

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 7.7m 6th $13 (Sr1) Dancing In America Newcastle 2030m (1:57.9) R5884 race Jun 1 then held up for a run early in the straight when 23m 7th $15 (Sr1) Topsky Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R5762 race Jun 12. Moderate efforts in three recent runs but fitter now and proven fourth up; could improve.

Race comment

Eased early when 4m 3rd $5.00 (Fr8) Hes The Warrior NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:57.7) R5662 race Jun 1 then eased early when 7.7m 4th $9.50 (Fr8) Topsky Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R5762 race Jun 12. Does not win out of turn but has place claims on recent form.

Race comment

Finished 12.7m 3rd $12 (Sr1) High Line NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:56.8) R5666 race May 30 then ran 21m 10th $16 (Fr3) Regal Rock NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:54.6) R6173 race Jun 12. Fitter for three runs since a spell and has placed 2 from 3 fourth up; not out of it.
