Nice run to hold second despite winner being too strong late 1.6L at Doomben Bm68 over 1660m Soft 5. Sent forward and gave backers a sight before weakening into fifth 1.8L at Ipswich Cl4 over 1680m Soft 5.

Had few excuses after finding a nice trail midfield 5.4L at Gunnedah Bm58 over 2150m Soft 5. Dictated the race in the lead and gave nothing else a chance winning 2.2L at Muswellbrook Bm74 over 2300m Soft 6.

Ridden positively on the pace but had to settle for fourth 3.3L at Tamworth Mornington Bm85 over 2100m. Disappointed after finding a nice seat on the pace 3.7L at Inverell Bm66 over 1800m Soft 5.

Led, fought on strongly but was nailed on the line into second 0.2L at Taree Bm58 over 2000m Heavy 10. Couldn't sustain sprint in the straight after settling with the leaders 5.9L at Gunnedah Bm58 over 2150m Soft 5.

Steward's Comments: When questioned, rider staged her mount travelled well in the early and middle stages. She added that as her mount is one paced she elected to ride it along from the 600m, however, was disappointing in the run to the line. A post-race vet exam revealed the gelding to be lame (2/5) in the offside foreleg. Trainer was advised a vet clearance is required prior to barrier trialling or racing again. Vet clearance since received.
