Races SRX Newcastle

Got back worse than midfield running on ok late into sixth 2.6L at Canberra Bm65 over 1600m Soft 5. Just off the speed to contend but was easily defeated once asked for the effort 8.5L at Goulburn Bm58 over 2145m.

Had plenty of ground to make up and did pass some tired horses for fifth 4.8L at Port Macquarie Bm66 over 1500m. Sat on the pace and loomed as a danger but could only fight on 2.9L at Dubbo Bm58 over 1600m.

Nice ride to sit poised to bounce on the leaders but could only trail into third 2.5L at Tamworth Bm58 over 2100m. Held position to the line for second after settling up with the leaders 1.2L at Scone Bm58 over 2200m Soft 5.

Couldn't sustain sprint in the straight after settling with the leaders 6.9L at Hawkesbury Bm64 over 2000m. Nice run to hold second despite winner being too strong late 1.3L at Dubbo Bm58 over 1600m. Second-up.

Sat on the pace over the final 400m and gained the bob in on the line to win 0.2L at Goulburn Cl1-Sw over 2145m Heavy 8. Got going when the race was won but encouraging nonetheless, sixth 1.2L at Hawkesbury Cl1 over 1500m Soft 5. Second-up.

Won by the barest of margins after sitting off the pace 0L at Port Macquarie Bm58 over 2000m. Tracked into the race just behind the pace and did little when it mattered 19.8L at Taree Bm58 (57) over 2000m.

No match for the winner but fought on boldly to hold third 1.9L at Port Macquarie Bm58 over 1509m. Fought hard over the final stages for third after sitting behind leaders 1.3L at Taree Bm58 over 1614m Soft 5.

No match for rivals and never progressed into the race from midfield 2.6L at Port Macquarie Bm58 over 1812m. Ran on ok late for fifth but ultimately too far back to challenge 4L at Goulburn Bm58 over 2145m.

Ran on well from midfield for second, showing good form 3.6L at Gunnedah Bm58 over 2150m. Most impressive performance to fly home late to win 1.7L at Armidale Bm58 over 1900m.
