Gawler 01 December 2021

Racing well. Last start rider concerned with action; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Pakenham 4yo+ Mdn on November 11 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Lal Lal Falls carrying 59.5kg at $7.50. The start before that set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 11 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn on October 27 over 1400m, head behind Last Zerprise with 58kg at $11. Can bounce back.

Second run back. First-up after 14 months got back early 6th of 12 (slowly away; began awkwardly; bumped rival) at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn on October 27 over 1400m, 6 len behind Halifax Road with 58kg at $151. Previously second-up keen; 6th of 12 at Balaklava 2yo+ Mdn on July 29 2020 over 1400m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Meehni carrying 57.5kg at $101. Must improve significantly.

Last start struck interference at start; got back early 8th of 12 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn on November 10 over 1800m, 5 len behind Victory Bandit with 58kg at $101. Before that slowly away; ran last of 10 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on October 4 over 2100m, on a slow track; 51 len behind Hallaroste carrying 58kg at $11. Needs to step up.

At the latest run slowly away; 10th of 12 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn on November 10 over 1800m, 7 len behind Victory Bandit carrying 58kg at $61. Before that laid out in straight; 4th of 10 at Bordertown 3yo+ Mdn on October 29 over 1550m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Salsbury Hill carrying 55.5kg at $6.50. Well held last time and facing tough task today.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming keen; 2nd of 10 at Morphettville 3yo+ Mdn on November 2 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Journey To Petra carrying 58kg at $41. Second run from a spell ran last of 8 at Morphettville Parks 3yo+ Mdn on November 20 over 1250m, slow going 10 len behind Totally Discreet carrying 58kg at $26. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Having third race start. At long odds at debut, slowly away; got back early 4th in a small field at Morphettville Parks 3yo (Bm62) on November 6 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Rodeo with 58kg at $26. Second-up 3rd of 8 at Morphettville Parks 3yo+ Mdn on November 20 over 1250m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Totally Discreet with 56.5kg at $4. Well-placed, should prove hard to beat.

At the latest run vetted - no abnormalities; second last of 11 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo+ Mdn Plate on November 17 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Banderas with 58kg at $9.

Deserves another chance.

Third-up today. Resuming 9th of 12 at this track 3yo+ F&M Mdn on November 4 over 1200m, slow going 9 len behind Alpine Flyer carrying 57.5kg at $26. Second run from a spell laid out in straight; 2nd of 14 at Balaklava 3yo+ Mdn Plate on November 24 over 1400m, slow going head behind Friendly Ghost carrying 56kg at $21. Doesn’t need to improve much to play a big role.

At the latest run eased back early on 5th of 10 at Clare 3yo+ Mdn on November 21 over 1800m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Dorothy Rose with 54kg at $12. The run before that laid out concluding stages; 6th of 12 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn on November 10 over 1800m, 4 len behind Victory Bandit carrying 56kg at $101. This looks too tough.

Most recently 4th in a small field at Naracoorte (Bm72) on November 19 over 2000m, 6 len behind Runbro with 56.5kg at $3.20. The race before that laid in during race and proved difficult to ride out; second last of 9 at Morphettville Parks (Bm82) on November 13 over 2250m, 12 len behind Nobel Heights carrying 54kg at $26. Ready to win after a solid performance last time out.

Useful gelding. Most recently came from midfield and won by 2.75 len at Balaklava (Bm54) November 24 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating River with 58kg at $6.50. The race before that slowly away and overraced early stages; eased back early on 7th of 11 at Murray Bridge (Bm58) on November 10 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Moscow Mule carrying 59.5kg at $41. Big chance to go back-to-back.

At the latest run second last in a small field at Naracoorte (Bm72) on November 19 over 2000m, 6 len behind Runbro carrying 54kg at $13. The run before that 6th of 10 at Mornington 3yo+ (Bm64) on October 18 over 2460m, 7 len behind Brilliant Venture carrying 59.5kg at $21. Others offer greater appeal.

Last start raced on the speed throughout before fading 9th of 11 at Murray Bridge (Bm58) on November 10 over 1600m, 6 len behind Moscow Mule with 58.5kg at $26. The start before that won by a nose at Bordertown (Bm68) October 29 over 1550m on a soft track defeating Kilowatt carrying 52kg at $7. Prepared to risk today.

At the latest run favourite; won by 1.5 len at Clare (Bm54) November 21 over 1800m on a rain affected track defeating Duke Of Christophe carrying 55kg at $2.60. Before that slowly away; second last of 16 at Murray Bridge (Bm58) on October 15 over 2000m, 10 len behind Jack's A Cracker carrying 52.5kg at $12. Won last start and is well-placed again.

Capable of a big finish so don’t write him off.

At debut, eased near 800m and laid in in the straight; 4th of 10 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn on November 19 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Miss Gatsby carrying 56.5kg at $9. Encouraging signs on debut and is worth following up.

Most recently 7th of 12 at Clare 3yo+ Mdn on November 21 over 1100m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Star Espresso carrying 54.5kg at $26. Before that laid out in straight; 4th of 9 at Rockhampton Mdn Plate on October 16 over 1100m, 4 len behind Bluindi carrying 55kg at $2.50. Better off avoiding.

Previously first up; eased early stages and raced greenly; sixth of 12 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn August 25 over 1400m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Apache Star with 56kg at $17. Can fire while fresh.

The race before that with blinkers first time; 5th of 12 at Murray Bridge 3yo+ Mdn on October 27 over 1400m, 6 len behind Halifax Road with 56kg at $21. Sure to improve again. Top chance.

Going well. At the latest run wide throughout and lost a plate; raced on the pace when 2nd of 12 at this track 3yo+ F&M Mdn on November 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Alpine Flyer carrying 57.5kg at $3.80. The run before that laid out near turn; ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 10 at this track 3yo+ Mdn on October 22 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Sacred Armour carrying 54.5kg at $21. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Zebedee out of To Bow. Trialled recently when out of the placings over 1050m at Oakbank November 23. Happy to risk.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last preparation third of 10 at Murray Bridge 2yo Swp July 3 over 1200m, soft track; 1.75 len behind Belle Of Yorkes with 54kg at $21. First up last campaign hampered near 800m; fourth of 8 at Oakbank 2yo Mdn March 31 over 1050m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Jimmys Edge carrying 52.5kg at $2. Not without claims first-up.

On debut laid out in straight; sixth of 10 at Murray Bridge 3yo Mdn June 19 over 1000m, soft track; 6 len behind Spinola Bay with 55.5kg at $81. Likely to need this run.

Previous preparation first-up won by 2 len Balaklava (Bm62) March 17 over 1050m defeating Like A Heartbeat carrying 57.5kg at $9. Likely to play a major role.

Raced two times to date. At big odds at debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 (began awkwardly; shifted in near 1000m; checked near 100m) at Morphettville 3yo+ Mdn on November 2 over 1200m, 4 len behind Journey To Petra carrying 58kg at $26. Second-up raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at Strathalbyn 3yo+ E&G Mdn November 17 over 1100m on a rain affected track defeating Umfana with 58kg at $3.50.

Previously second-up overraced early, middle stages; 7th of 10 at Morphettville Parks (Bm64) on March 13 over 1250m, slow going 8 len behind Skilled Bunch with 58kg at $26. Unlikely to threaten.

Previously first up; ninth of 11 at Clare (Bm54) March 7 over 1200m, 8 len behind Sir Johnson with 55kg at $8.50. Definite each-way hope.

Second run from a spell 6th of 10 at Balaklava (Bm54) on November 24 over 1300m, slow going 5 len behind Jive Baby with 55kg at $11. This is well within his grasp.

When resuming last campaign second last of 14 at Morphettville (Bm58) October 17 2020 over 1600m, 11 len behind Li'l Hank carrying 57.5kg at $51. Back from a spell with plenty of upside.

Second run from a spell 8th of 11 at Strathalbyn (Bm52) on November 17 over 1350m, 3 len behind It's A Shame with 58kg at $11. Fitter and should relish the step up to 1516m.
