Bankstown R1 Allied Express Pace

Race comment

Held on well when 4.2m 2nd $9.00 (Sr1) Mishon Control Menangle 1609m (1:53.9) R4157 race Aug 6 then eased early when 5m 4th $7.00 (Fr8) Hurrikane Poker NZ Menangle 1609m (1:57.5) R4058 race Aug 13. Lightly raced and winner at his only start in this distance range; has upside and hard to beat from the pole draw.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when 24.5m 7th $26 (Fr2) The Texas Ranger Penrith 2125m (1:59.1) R5669 race Jul 18 then broke during running when distanced 9th $12 (Fr1) Premier Joy Penrith 1720m (1:57.1) R6171 race Aug 15. Mixing form and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Sound effort when 6.2m 4th $8.50 (Fr3) Flyin Circles NZ Penrith 1720m (1:57.8) R6068 race Aug 8 then raced well when 3.5m 2nd $6.50 (Sr1) Premier Joy Penrith 1720m (1:57.1) R6171 race Aug 15. Holding form well and definite danger here despite the wide draw.

Race comment

Safely held when 1.5m 4th $8.00 (Fr2) Weona Luke Menangle 1609m (1:54.0) R6092 race Aug 10 then safely held when 11.2m 7th $41 (Fr3) Rays Choice Menangle 1609m (1:52.7) R6193 race Aug 17. Races best in this distance range and stays in the mix for wider exotics.

Race comment

Finished 19.7m 7th $34 (Fr3) Jimmy The Editor NZ Bankstown 2140m (2:01.0) R5973 race Aug 9 then covered extra ground, raced wide late and inconvenienced when beaten 9.7m 7th $81 (Sr3) Jerada Gotta Major Penrith 1720m (1:58.5) R5470 race Aug 15. Need to find best.

Race comment

Good effort when 2.5m 3rd $2.30 (Fr4) Kamwood Izzy Leeton 1758m (1:56.8) R5778 race Jul 16 then raced roughly when 21.5m 8th $3.50 (Fr2) Jimmy The Editor NZ Bankstown 2140m (2:01.0) R5973 race Aug 9. Form prior to his last start excusable effort consistent; each way.

Race comment

Eased early when 17.5m 8th $19 (Fr3) Rain Man NZ Penrith 1720m (1:58.0) R6272 race Aug 1 then checked when beaten 9.7m 4th $21 (Fr2) Premier Joy Penrith 1720m (1:57.1) R6171 race Aug 15. Not hopeless on latest effort.

Race comment

Sound effort when 6m 5th $8.50 (Fr3) Du Vella NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.9) R5792 race Aug 10 then raced wide early and covered extra ground when 23.5m 9th $8.00 (Fr6) My Major Rocket NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.7) R6285 race Aug 17. Tends to find trouble in her races but well graded here and warants respect despite the tricky draw.

Race comment

Finished 11.2m 4th $4.40 (Fr3) Kid Montana Tamworth 1980m (2:01.7) R6391 race Aug 8 then beaten 3m 2nd $51 (Fr5) Styx Vixen NZ Newcastle 2030m (2:01.3) R6374 race Aug 16. Could place again.
