Menangle R9 C91.3fm Pace

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 6.5m 7th $18 (Fr2) Thunder Dance Menangle 1609m the GROUP3 Lazarus At Yirribee FFA (grp3) Aug 24 then looked good defeating Smokey Quartz 3.5m $3.30 (Fr7) Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) R6693 race Sep 3. Last start winner at second start this campaign and is 3 from 6 third up; definite contender despite a tricky draw.

Race comment

Safely held when 10.5m 9th $21 (Fr8) Brocks Territory Menangle 1609m (1:51.7) R65115 race Jul 2 then solid effort when 10m 7th $7.50 (Fr2) Brocks Territory Menangle 1609m (1:51.8) R85115 race Jul 6. Resumes here but goes well fresh and warrants respect.

Beaten 13.7m 7th $15 (Fr9) Lord Zin Zan NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R8298 race Aug 27 then good run when 3.5m 2nd $2.50 (Fr6) Admiral Bronski Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) R6693 race Sep 3. In the mix on last start improved effort.

Eased early when 16.2m 7th $34 (Fr9) Tact Maggie NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.4) R5293 race Jul 30 then eased early when 12m 5th $21 (Fr6) Lord Zin Zan NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R8298 race Aug 27. Others make more appeal.

Race comment

Eased early, inconvenienced and tightened during running when 4.5m 5th $26 (Fr6) Pay Me Sam Menangle 1609m (1:52.2) R80102 race Aug 17 then beaten 38m 8th $41 (Sr1) Balraj NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R6681 race Aug 27. Not fancied.

Eased early when 16m 8th $11 (Fr4) Lord Zin Zan NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R8298 race Aug 27 then eased early and failed to get a clear run when beaten 15m 8th $19 (Fr8) Pat Stanley NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R5587 race Aug 31. Need to find best.

Race comment

Eased early when 6.5m 6th $30 (Fr6) Jimmy Locke Bendigo 1650m (1:54.7) R6171 race Jul 19 then raced wide late, inconvenienced and tightened during running when beaten 21m 8th $2.10 (Sr3) Spunkyola Shepparton 2190m (2:02.1) R5873 race Aug 18. Improved by two runs since a spell and further improvement is possible.

Race comment

Eased early when 22m 7th $48 (Fr7) Major Times Tabcorp Park 2240m (1:54.9) R7889 race Jul 27 then held on well when 8m 2nd $1.50 (Fr5) Lord Zin Zan NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R8298 race Aug 27. Fitter for three recent runs and and has won fourth up; likely leader here and could repeat.

Race comment

Handy effort when 9.5m 9th $15 (Fr6) Shannonsablast Menangle 1609m (1:52.7) C5+ race Jun 18 then out of position at the start when distanced 10th $8.00 (Fr3) Im Jaks Teller NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.1) R83103 race Jul 6. Back from a spell and place preferred from this draw.
