Races MRX Ararat

Settled off the pace and battled on bravely for third 2.3L at Horsham 0 - 58 over 1100m. Settled on the speed and tried very hard for third but found a couple better 2.1L at Benalla 0 - 58 over 1106m.

Got going when the race was won but encouraging nonetheless, fifth 1.3L at Ararat Bm64 over 1100m. Tracked into the race just behind the pace and did little when it mattered 11.4L at Caulfield Heath Bm64 over 1200m.

Led and kicked clear for nice win 1L at Swan Hill Mdn-Sw over 1200m. Led, kicked but run down late to just miss a place 1.8L at Benalla 0 - 58 over 1106m. Second-up.

Terrific effort to win convincingly after sitting outside the leader 3.8L at Burrumbeet Mdn-Sw over 1000m. Never a winning chance after slow beginning and did well to steal sixth 10.2L at Hanging Rock Bm58 over 1000m.

Couldn't muster any speed beaten 12.4L at Darwin 0 - 70 over 1200m Sand. Didn't come into the race after settling midfield 15.4L at Hanging Rock Bm58 over 1000m. Second-up.

Ran home strongly for second over the final 400m and just missed by a narrow margin 0.2L at Mornington Mdn-Sw over 1000m. Settled on the pace and ran down the leaders to win 0.1L at Picklebet Park Werribee Mdn-Sw over 1014m Soft 5.

Held off rivals for a soft win 1.5L at Mildura Mdn-Sw over 1112m. Loomed as a threat but content with fourth 1.3L at Horsham F&M Bm58 over 1100m. Second-up.

Went forward to be in the fight and fought very hard to keep third 2.3L at Pakenham Bm64 over 1000m Synthetic. Showed pace to sit with the leaders, fought hard but tired quickly 2.8L at Warracknabeal 0 - 58 over 1005m.

Made no impression after getting back worse than midfield 22.6L at Ballarat F&M Bm58 over 1100m Synthetic. Nice ride to sit behind the leaders but found little when let go finishing sixth 6.8L at Cranbourne Cl1 over 1000m. A winner second-up in the past, must regard.

Settled midfield and appeared to have every chance to challenge 2.8L at Benalla 0 - 58 over 1406m. Saved best part of the race until very late 2.3L at Kyneton 0 - 58 over 1203m.

Too far back in the running to be a serious threat 3.1L at Benalla Bm58 over 1112m. Looked in need of further after getting a long way out of ground, sixth 3.3L at Donald 0 - 58 over 1206m. Can win first-up.

Behind the leader and was right there to be in the finish, tiring into sixth 3.4L at Wangaratta Bm52 over 1300m. Made up some ground when the race was over into fifth 1.8L at Terang Bm52 over 1400m.

Never in the hunt and disappointed over the final half of the race 13.5L at Naracoorte 0-54 over 1200m. Non-competitive and never gave backers any joy 18.8L at Camperdown 0 - 58 over 1000m.
