Menangle R4 Multiquip Pace

Race comment

Fought on very well when 2.7m 2nd $11 (Fr4) Dance For Glory Menangle 1609m (1:53.4) R6796 race Jul 20 then safely held when 10.5m 7th $7.00 (Fr9) Bettor Be Lucky Menangle 2300m (1:56.7) R6493 race Aug 3. Below par last start but this is easier and could lead from this draw; hard to run down.

Fought on well defeating Petes Said So NZ 0.4m $2.50 (Fr5) Bankstown 1740m (1:59.0) R6072 race Jul 19 then finished 13m 7th $5.00 (Fr3) Captain Rockey Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R6196 race Jul 27. Mixing form but not out of it on narrow win two back.

Covered extra ground when 11.2m 2nd $10.00 (Fr4) Plata O Plomo NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.4) R5588 race Jul 27 then held up for a run early in the straight when 8.7m 3rd $34 (Fr4) The Space Invader Menangle 2300m (1:56.2) R6393 race Aug 3. In the money chance.

Finished 1m 2nd $26 (Fr3) Pocket Of Terror Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R6387 race Jul 27 then eased early when 12.5m 6th $19 (Fr8) The Space Invader Menangle 2300m (1:56.2) R6393 race Aug 3. Hard to see troubling main chances.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 14m 6th $3.60 (Fr5) Sky Diamond NZ Penrith 2125m (1:56.8) R6174 race Jul 18 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 8.5m 4th $8.50 (Fr1) Pocket Of Terror Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R6387 race Jul 27. Needs to lift again.

Scored handily over Jerada Gotta Major 1.7m $13 (Sr2) Penrith 2125m (1:59.1) R5862 race Jul 18 then beaten 16.5m 9th $34 (Fr4) Bettor Be Lucky Menangle 2300m (1:56.7) R6493 race Aug 3. Chance on best.

Race comment

Finished 18.5m 6th $7.00 (Fr4) Santannas Rocket NZ Penrith 2125m (1:57.6) R7383 race Jul 11 then eased early and broke under pressure when 17.2m 7th $71 (Fr3) Hedges Avenue Menangle 1609m (1:51.2) R7688 race Aug 3. Improved by two runs since a spell and further improvement is possible.

Race comment

Good run to place 0.1m 2nd $9.00 (Fr6) General Joy Menangle 1609m (1:52.7) R6893 race Jul 20 then held on well when 4.5m 3rd $5.50 (Fr5) Captain Rockey Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R6196 race Jul 27. Solid efforts past couple and while he might get back early from this draw capable of gradually improving his position during the race to be just behind the leaders at the bell lap.

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 5.7m 3rd $3.50 (Sr2) Tulhurst Santanna Dubbo 1720m (1:57.5) R6080 race Jul 28 then covered extra ground when 0.4m 2nd $1.90 (Sr2) Machkori Parkes 2040m (1:59.1) R6380 race Aug 2. Has the early speed to overcome the wide draw here and to race handily particularly given added fitness following recent racing.

Race comment

Eased early when 7.2m 3rd $7.50 (Fr9) Pocket Of Terror Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R6387 race Jul 27 then eased early when 6m 5th $5.00 (Fr7) Bettor Be Lucky Menangle 2300m (1:56.7) R6493 race Aug 3. Likely to get back in the field from this draw but stays in the mix on useful recent form in slightly stronger company.
