Races MR Moonee Valley

Stormed home for a close second after getting back 0.1L at Horsham Mdn-Sw over 2100m. Held position to the line when second after settling up with the leaders 4.8L at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw over 2400m.

Weakened out of the race after doing a lot of chasing 11.7L at Albury Cl1-Sw over 1600m. Non-competitive and never gave backers any joy 8.9L at Pakenham Mdn-Sw over 1200m. Second-up.

Under extreme pressure to keep pace with the front-runners 5.8L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Mdn-Sw over 1300m. Came from midfield with a nice run for third 5L at Pakenham Mdn 1200m. Should relish the extra trip.

Settled just off the pace and couldn't match it with the winner when third 5.5L at Mornington 3Y Mdn-Sw over 1200m. Got a long way back in transit and showed best work late when fourth 3.5L at Ballarat Mdn-Sw over 1400m.

Loomed ominously on the lead but outgunned late when runner-up 0.3L at Ballarat F&M Mdn-Sw over 1400m. Fought hard over the final stages into third after sitting behind leaders 2.5L at Horsham Mdn-Sw over 1400m Soft 6.

Landed in a nice trailing position but couldn't go on to challenge when fifth 3.6L Tas Oaks Listed 2100m. Enjoyed a nice run in transit and kicked strongly to hold second 2L at Warrnambool F&M Mdn 1400m. Has the ability, barrier no help.

Fought on strongly after finding the lead but was caught late when second 0.5L at Wagga Mdn over 1600m Heavy 8. Went forward to challenge, weakening noticeably in the straight 15.5L at Wangaratta Mdn-Sw over 2000m.

Sat behind the leaders and fought hard over the final stages for third 4L at Apiam Bendigo Mdn-Sw over 1300m. Settled a long way back and grew wings late to just miss for second 0L at Echuca Mdn-Sw over 1400m.

Behind speed, loomed up, not quite 0.6L Reg Allen Group 3 over 1400m Soft 5. Handy, had clear run, couldn't capitalise 8L Carbine Club Group 3 over 1600m. First two home that race went on to quinella the G1 Thousand Guineas.

Ridden just off the speed and produced best late to finish runner-up 0.5L at Ballarat 3Y Mdn 1400m. Rearward, found traffic, should have gone closer 0.8L at The Valley 3Y Mdn 1519m. May look to settle a pair or two closer this race.

Pressed to make a move but failed to make any impression on rivals 25.2L at Moe Mdn-Sw over 2439m Heavy 9. Hardly sighted after a slow start and top effort to grab fifth 4L at Traralgon Mdn-Sw over 1430m. Second-up.

Weakened out of the race after doing a lot of chasing 7.6L at Sale Mdn 1110m Soft 5. Always well back and nice effort to finish off for fifth 3.3L at Pakenham 3Yf Mdn 1400m. Much improved last start. Mile should suit.

Failed to improve on the front runners after settling midfield 7.3L at Wangaratta 3Y Mdn over 1100m. Poised to bounce at the 400m however didn't have a lot left to give 10.4L at Mortlake Mdn over 1300m. Will need to find a few lengths.

Had no pace early but once balanced up ran on well for fifth 2.7L at Echuca Mdn-Sw over 1300m Soft 7. Didn't finish the race off when fifth after lobbing behind the speed 3.3L at Kyneton Mdn-Sw over 1454m. Second-up.
