Menangle R4 Allied Express Pace

Race comment

Raced wide early and held up for a run early in the straight when 10m 9th $21 (Fr7) Dance For Glory Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) M0 race Jun 8 then won $3.00 (Sr3) narrowly over Kid Montana 0.4m Tamworth 1980m (1:58.8) C4+ race Jun 27. Drawn poorly but still a contender on last start narrow win.

Race comment

Eased early when 7.5m 3rd $10.00 (Fr5) Hollys Miss Molly Bathurst 2260m (2:01.3) C6+ race Jun 19 then eased early when 8.7m 5th $9.50 (Fr7) Untitled Bathurst 1730m (1:56.2) C4+ race Jun 26. Good run two starts back when placed and stays in the mix.

Race comment

Eased early, inconvenienced and blocked for a run late in race when 11.5m 6th $4.20 (Fr4) Hollys Miss Molly Bathurst 2260m (2:01.3) C6+ race Jun 19 then eased early and failed to get a clear run when beaten 12m 6th $5.50 (Fr6) Untitled Bathurst 1730m (1:56.2) C4+ race Jun 26. Can forgive last start effort when he was blocked for run and assess on solid win three back; has claims.
