Went forward to challenge, weakening noticeably in the straight 3.9L at Canberra Acton Tab Fed Open over 1206m Synthetic. Found a nice spot behind the speed but did little in the run home 7.6L at Canberra Tab Fed Open over 1000m. Second-up.

Raced worse than midfield and labored to make up enough ground sixth 4.6L at Newcastle Mid Bm64 over 900m. Pushed along from midfield to make ground for fifth but found others too good 5L at Bathurst Bm66 over 1100m Soft 7.

Fought hard over the final stages into third after sitting behind leaders 2.1L at Cootamundra Bm66 over 1100m. Loomed as the winner and got to the lead when it mattered most 0.4L at Bathurst Bm66 over 1100m Soft 7.

Still beaten easily but last part was encouraging for sixth after getting well back 4.7L at Wagga Ctry Bm58 over 1000m Heavy 9. Was back in transit but produced best late for an encouraging third 0.6L at Moruya Bm58 over 1020m.

Produced best over the final 400m for a solid second after settling midfield 1.6L at Goulburn Ctry Bm58 over 1100m. One-paced to the line and always well back 9.3L at Rosehill Gardens Bm78 over 1100m. Should find this easier.
