Settled well back in the running but stormed home to win on the line 0.3L at Wagga Bm82 over 1400m Soft 5. Got going late into sixth place after needing a binoculars to find it at the 400m 3.9L at Albury Bm82 over 1400m Heavy 8. Down in grade here so don't dismiss.

Steward's Comments: Protested against 2nd placegetter, alleging interference in straight - Dismissed. Held up from 400m & passing 300m was disappointed for a run. As a result was obliged to shift to outside of heels to improve, however passing 100m was momentarily steadied when placed close to heels.

Steward's Comments: near the 250m was inconvenienced when it rolled in slightly and had its hindquarters turned out by a/r. Shortly after was taken out across the heels of a/r, and was forced to race in restricted room for a number of strides. Vet NVA.

Got back worse than midfield running on ok late into fifth 2.1L at Ballarat Gold Nugget over 1600m Soft 5. Enormous effort to get so close to the winner when third 2.3L at Ballarat Bm58 over 1600m.

Steward's Comments: Restrained from the wide barrier in the early stages and settled at the rear of the field. Laid out under pressure in the straight. ($1.70 favourite, 3rd placegetter). Rider reported the mare travelled well in the early and middle stages and she felt at the top of the straight she was in winning contention, however due to the high weight impost and the Good 3 track, the mare failed to make sufficient ground in the straight. A post-race veterinary examination revealed no significant findings.

Steward's Comments: Near the 1100m was steadied to avoid heels. Commenced a three wide run from the 1000m. Rider - when the tempo of the race slackened near the 1000m her mount commenced to race keenly, therefore she shifted her mount wider and allowed Ziggi Rocks to improve into the race.
