Races MR Flemington

Gutsy effort to hold off rivals to win when hitting the lead 0L at The Valley Bm70 over 2500m. Posted wide, did it tough, hit wall 14.2L Atc Derby Group 1 over 2400m. Forget run last start. Better than that.

Never likely to threaten after positioning midfield in transit 9.5L at Pakenham 3Y Bm70 over 2000m. Midfield, even effort 5.5L 3Y-Swp Listed over 2400m.

Never headed once found the lead and shot clear for a dominant win 3L at Ararat Mdn-Sw over 2206m. Led, stuck on ok in straight 4.3L 3Y-Swp Listed over 2400m.

In control of the race a long way from home and won impressively 4.5L at Kembla Grange Bm68 2400m Soft 6. Outside leader, first one beaten, choked down 24L Tulloch Group 2 2000m Heavy 8. Tongue tie on, look for him to bounce back.

Scooted home into third placing for an eye-catching run after settling back 1.5L at Kyneton Bm58 over 1875m Soft 6. Sat on the pace and was only run down in the last 100m to hold third 0.1L at Cranbourne Bm64 over 2080m.

Tried hard to improve but was always battling to remain in contention 9.8L Avondale Gns Group 2 over 2100m Soft 5. Held third 1.2L Manawatu Clssc Group 3 over 2100m. One of the main contenders in an even race.

Ridden forward and just failed to get the bob in when second 0L at Pakenham Mdn 2000m. Worked before leading and kicked strongly in the lane for the victory 0.2L at Ballarat Mdn 2000m. Will outstay a lot of these. Looks value.

Won by the barest of margins after settling midfield 0.1L at Kyneton Mdn 1856m. Was traveling well, missed jump, failed to finish at Pakenham Mdn Hdle 3200m Soft 5. Interesting runner having hurdle lead-in race. Distance no issue.

Ran down the leaders and got the victory late 0.8L at Ararat Mdn-Sw over 1606m. Hardly sighted until very late gaining sixth 3.4L at Sportsbet Sandown Lakeside Bm70 over 2100m.

Pushed along from midfield to make ground for fifth but found others too good 7L at Ladbrokes Geelong Mdn-Sw over 1700m. Settled with the leading bunch and gave all to finish just outside the placings 2.9L at Mornington Mdn-Sw over 2050m.

Positioned behind the pace and couldn't improve position sixth 1.6L at Ballarat Bm64 over 2000m. Raced forward, solid effort 3.3L 3Y-Swp Listed over 2400m.

Came with a nice run late into fourth but the bird had flown 1.7L at Hawkesbury Mdn-Sw over 2000m Soft 5. Kicked clear for the easiest of wins after leading 2L at Mornington Mdn-Sw over 2050m.
