Weakened out of the race after doing a lot of chasing 8.6L at The Valley Bm78 over 2040m. Got back worse than midfield and was pushed along to make ground 8L at The Valley Bm74 over 2040m. Likely to benefit from the drop in grade.

Steward's Comments: Lost the near hind plate in running. RR instructed to obtain cover to enable his mount to settle, however he was disappointed in the performance. Trainer confirmed the nature of the instructions, noting Red Aces settled further forward than intended at its most recent start at Moonee Valley, 22 March 2025. Added colt would now be sent for a spell.

Yielded into sixth place after going forward and sitting behind the leaders 3.8L at Thomas Farms RC Murray Bridge Bm70 over 1800m. Looked to find a nice spot in-running however was found wanting 11.4L at Flemington Bm70 over 1800m.

Sat behind the leaders and appeared to have every chance 13.9L at Hamilton Hton Cup over 2200m Soft 5. Tracked into the race just behind the pace and did little when it mattered 11.7L at Southside Pakenham Bm66 over 2000m. Has won second-up previously.

Steward's Comments: Raced wide without cover for the majority of the event. Eased down over the concluding stages. When questioned rider explained that after being caught wide in the early stages he was reluctant to ride forward as the gelding has a tendency to overrace when ridden along. He stated for this reason he maintained a three-wide position and after Navy King (NZ) had improved around the field he had hoped that he may be able to obtain a position with cover but was ultimately unable to do so. He added that the geldin.

Never a threat after showing no early speed from the barriers 8.3L at Southside Cranbourne Bm70 over 1500m. Tried hard but it was always an uphill battle from settling position 6.6L at Flemington Bm70 over 1800m.

Tried to sustain a long run on the pace but dropped out sharply 4.9L at Swan Hill Bm64 over 2400m. Raced up on the pace and did a great job to hold second 1.5L at Southside Pakenham Bm66 over 2000m. Main danger.

Too far back in the running to be a serious threat 8.5L at Flemington Bm70 over 1800m. Under pressure in the lead and had to pull out all stops to hold fifth 2.4L at Southside Pakenham F&M Bm70 over 2000m.
