Looked to find a nice spot in-running however was found wanting 8.3L at Toowoomba Bm58 over 2000m. Made no impression after getting back worse than midfield 6.2L at Aquis Park Gold Coast Poly Bm58 over 2000m Synthetic.

Weakened out of the race after doing a lot of chasing 10.4L at Taree Cl1-Sw over 1600m Soft 6. Settled on the pace and had chance to win but out-gunned for second 0.6L at Port Macquarie Cl1-Sw over 1800m Soft 6.

Led, gave everything to hold on however found one better finishing second 1L at Grafton Bm58 over 2200m. Utilised early pace settling behind the leader but was spent late for fifth 3.2L at Port Macquarie Bm50 over 1815m Soft 5. Proven here at this track/distance.

Had few excuses after finding a nice trail midfield 12.4L at Grafton Bm58 over 2200m. Under extreme pressure to keep pace with the front-runners 12.9L at Port Macquarie Bm50 over 1815m Soft 5.

Sat on the pace and was only run down in the last 100m for third 0.7L at Ipswich Bm58 over 2010m Soft 6. Allowed to settle a long way back in the field but produced best late for second 3.8L at Ipswich Bm55 over 1960m.

Super job to make up many lengths from back in the field late for sixth 2L at Gunnedah Cl1-Sw over 1600m. Didn't finish the race off when fifth after lobbing behind the speed 3.8L at Grafton Bm58 over 2200m. Performs well at this track/distance.

Beaten convincingly by rivals when never looked a serious threat 16L at Port Macquarie Mdn-Sw over 1500m Soft 7. Never a threat after showing no early speed from the barriers 8.6L at Grafton Mdn-Sw over 1720m.
