Menangle R1 Hylands Racing Colours Pace

Race comment

Resuming. Ran 21m 6th $10.00 (Fr4) Everybodylovedray Menangle 1609m (1:54.0) C0-C1 race Jan 8 then sound effort when 8m 3rd $26 (Fr1) Summit Special Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) C1-C2 race Jan 15. Resumes here and goes well fresh (2-1-3); likely leader here and could be hard to run down.

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run, raced roughly and tired over the latter stages when 52m 10th $10.00 (Sr2) Bettys Lass Penrith 1720m (1:59.7) 3R4150 race Jul 18 then eased early when 23m 5th $14 (Fr4) Father Bob Menangle 1609m (1:55.4) R3958 race Sep 3. Need to lift.

Scored handily defeating Watchful Lady 2.5m $1.60 (Fr6) Newcastle 1609m (1:58.4) 2R3648 race Aug 10 then battled on gamely defeating Magnifico To Watch 1m $1.80 (Fr4) Newcastle 1609m (1:59.0) 2R3649 race Aug 19. Lightly raced ex Kiwi and winner of both his starts in Oz; can take the next step here.

Race comment

Eased early when 17.7m 9th $51 (Fr6) Pat Stanley NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R5587 race Aug 31 then commanding winner $3.70 (Fr6) over Starzzzinthe Cross 14.2m Newcastle 2030m (1:58.5) R5355 race Sep 6. Was an attractive winner (14m) last start but has a tricky draw.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $2.20 (Fr6) defeating Roger That 4.5m Bathurst 1730m (1:57.5) R4955 race Aug 21 then inconvenienced when beaten 14.7m 4th $3.20 (Sr4) Always A Stride Penrith 1720m (1:58.2) R5055 race Sep 5. Holding form well and has the speed to cross close to the pegs early if the driver so desires ; competitive under this scenario.

Race comment

Eased early when 2.5m 3rd $8.00 (Fr9) Obi One NZ Menangle 1609m (1:54.2) R4256 race Jul 23 then raced well when 3.5m 3rd $3.50 (Fr8) Peraki Lincoln NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.7) R4156 race Jul 30. Very consistent and definite contender despite a wide draw.
