Races MR Flemington

Beat some rivals late but did settle a long way back in transit 3L at Sportsbet Sandown Hillside Hcp over 1800m. Always doing the chasing after displaying no early speed 6.8L Coongy Group 3 over 2000m. Should find this easier.

Tried to sustain a long run on the pace but dropped out sharply at Rosehill Gardens. Couldn't muster a sprint in the straight after camping behind the leaders at Royal Randwick. Expect to see a big first-up run for a new stable.

Huge effort to fly home for second placing after positioning a long way back 1.8L Standish Group 3 over 1200m. Just off the leaders at the 400m however couldn't make up ground from sixth 2.8L Barton Stks Listed over 1400m. Likely to benefit from the drop in grade.

Ran home determinedly over the final stages to gain second 0.5L at Ladbrokes Geelong Bm84 over 1400m. Ridden just off the speed and produced best late to finish runner-up 0.5L at Flemington Bm84 over 1400m.

Applied pressure to the leader but had nothing left at the finish, fifth 2.7L at Thomas Farms RC Murray Bridge. Fought hard over the final stages for third after sitting behind leaders 1.9L Durbridge Listed. Like chances back to this level.

Settled a long way back in transit displaying best work very late for fifth 2.2L at Southside Pakenham Vgold Bullion over 1400m. Held position from the 400m to the line 1.7L at Ladbrokes Geelong Bm84 over 1400m.

Ran on well and looked a winning chance but was edged out for third 0.8L at Flemington. Did make up some ground in the straight for sixth but never threatened 2.5L at Caulfield. Can't underestimate at this track/distance.

Had to dig deep but made up ground well to win 0.5L at Flemington Bm74 over 1200m. Looked in need of further ground after storming home late for third 2.5L at Flemington Bm84 over 1200m.

Got going when the race was won but encouraging nonetheless, fifth 1.6L at Flemington Bm74 over 1200m. Very strong run late into fourth in a eye-catching effort 2L at Caulfield Bm84 over 1100m.
