Races MRX Hamilton

Couldn't sustain sprint in the straight after settling with the leaders 6.8L at Hamilton Mdn-Sw over 2200m. Went forward in transit and gained the edge late to win 0.1L at Warracknabeal Mdn-Sw over 1200m Heavy 8. Second-up.

Could only battle the race out for fourth after holding that position in-running 3.1L at Ballarat Bm64 over 1200m Soft 7. Held position strongly to the line but was never a serious threat 2.7L at Sale Bm64 over 1400m Heavy 8.

Gave a great sight out in front but was run down for third 1.4L at Ladbrokes Geelong Bm58 over 2440m. Found a nice spot behind the speed but did little in the run home 10.9L at Pakenham Bm58 over 2500m. Has won first-up, consider.

Never likely to threaten after positioning midfield in transit 6.1L at Ballarat Cg&E Bm58 over 1200m Synthetic. Hardly sighted after a slow start and top effort to grab fifth 7L at Apiam Bendigo 3Y Bm64 over 1100m Heavy 8.

Sat just behind the leaders and held on to win 0.2L at Thomas Farms RC Murray Bridge 2Up Mdn-Sw over 1400m. Never in the hunt and disappointed over the final half of the race 7.2L at Mildura 0 - 58 over 1400m.

Raced midfield but couldn't bridge the gap when fourth 3.6L at Mount Gambier Bm66 over 1200m Heavy 10. Settled worse than midfield and from that point struggled into sixth 10.1L at Warrnambool Bm58 over 1300m Heavy 9.

Hard ridden to make ground but ultimately settled too far back 7.6L at Pakenham Bm58 over 1200m Synthetic. Never gave backers any joy after slow start 22L at Ballarat Bm64 over 1500m Synthetic.

Trailed nicely midfield, pressed to keep up and only managed fifth 3.3L at Ballarat Bm70 over 1200m Synthetic. Had a tough task from the start and never a danger beaten 6.7L at Seymour Bm58 over 1200m Soft 7.

Found the lead early but was run down for second 1.3L at Albury Cl1 over 1400m Heavy 10. Had no pace early but once balanced up ran on well for fifth 2.8L at Wangaratta 0 - 58 over 1300m Soft 6. Has won second-up previously.

Caught the eye running on late from well back to gain second 1.8L at Mount Gambier 0-56 over 1300m Heavy 10. Under pressure to hold ground and fought bravely to the line 13L at Casterton 0 - 58 over 1400m Heavy 8.

Stormed home for a close second after getting back 0.2L at Donald 0 - 58 over 1206m Soft 7. Enormous effort to get so close to the winner when third after settling a long way back 4.8L at Wangaratta 0 - 58 over 1300m Soft 6.

Traveled forward in the running and laboured when it mattered fourth 4.5L at Casterton 0 - 58 over 1200m Soft 6. Sent forward into a handy spot but succumbed over the final stages when fifth 5.8L at Warrnambool Bm58 over 1300m Heavy 9. Can't underestimate at this track/distance.

One-paced to the line and always well back 5.7L at Terang Bm58 over 1600m. Positioned midfield and had chance to run on but ultimately outclassed 8.6L at Warracknabeal Bm52 over 1600m Soft 5. Won second-up in the past.

Couldn't quicken when asked for the effort after positioning worse than midfield 15.4L at Echuca Bm58 over 1400m. Encouraging work out for second 1L at Mansfield Pic-Trpy over 1600m.

Raced worse than midfield and labored to make up enough ground sixth 6.4L at Warracknabeal Bm52 over 1000m Soft 5. Disappointing performance when never got warm 7.7L at Mildura 0 - 58 over 1200m.
