Sat just off the pace and loomed as a threat before tiring into fourth 1.1L at Casterton Mdn-Sw over 1800m Heavy 8. Lost all hope after a slow beginning and did finish off late for fifth 5.7L at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw over 2000m Soft 7.

Sat up on the pace and had chance to win weakening into third 4L at Terang Mdn-Sw over 2150m Soft 6. Tenacious run for third after going forward in transit 2.1L at Tatura Mdn-Sw over 1980m.

Tracked nicely into the race but didn't run on in the straight when sixth 13.8L at Ballarat Mdn-Sw over 1500m Synthetic. Had few excuses after finding a nice trail midfield 13.3L at Casterton Mdn-Sw over 1800m Heavy 8.

Tried very hard under vigorous riding from midfield but outclassed sixth 7.3L at Pakenham Mdn-Sw over 1600m Synthetic. Gave a great sight out in front but was run down for third 1.2L at Seymour Mdn-Sw over 2040m.

Steward's Comments: Raced keenly in the early and middle stages when four wide without cover. Laid in over the final 200m. Rider reported that after being caught wide in the early stages, he elected to restrain in an attempt to gain cover. Whilst he conceded ground in an attempt to gain cover, he was unable to do so, as a result settled further back than intended.

No match for rivals and never progressed into the race from midfield 4.5L at Hamilton Mdn-Sw over 1600m Heavy 8. Came from midfield with a nice run for third 4.2L at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw over 2000m Soft 7.

A long way back with 400m to go and did pass a few late into sixth 7.9L at Ladbrokes Geelong F&M Mdn-Sw over 1512m. Out-gunned over the final stages after getting back midfield in-running 0.8L at Donald Mdn-Sw over 1628m.

Steward's Comments: Held up for clear running from the 400m to the 300m. Rider - was instructed to ride the mare, having it first race start, with cover in an attempt to finish the race off. Rider added the mare finished the race off fairly and would appreciate racing over distances greater than 1512m.

Hit the line hard into third and did look like a winning chance but was edged out 7L at Seymour 3Y Mdn-Sw over 1411m Soft 7. Came with a barnstorming finish but ultimately left run too late when fourth 2.7L at Seymour Mdn-Sw over 2040m.

Steward's Comments: Began awkwardly and lost ground. RR slow to begin rear of the field. Tempo was strong in the early and middle stages and travelled well. He stated 700m he considered shifting wider, however as his mount was having only its second race start over 2040m he did not feel it was in the filly’s interests to make a sustained wide run.he felt that horse would become held up behind the tiring leaders approaching the 400m, he shifted wider where Fuwari was held up for a short distance on straightening before securing.
