Menangle R1 Nafali Pest Control Pace

Race comment

Eased early and failed to get a clear run when 8.7m 6th $19 (Fr8) Wrangler NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.6) R7090 race Aug 31 then impressive winner $2.70 (Fr8) over Angel In White NZ 9.2m Newcastle 1609m (1:55.0) R6878 race Sep 14. Was an easy winner last start and contender again despite a class rise.

Eased early and held up for a run early in the straight when 9.5m 6th $7.70 (Fr5) Raptors Flight NZ Tabcorp Park 1720m (1:54.5) R6984 race Aug 23 then beaten 13.7m 3rd $2.00 (Fr3) Ideal Star NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.5) R6094 race Sep 7. Place prospects again.

Race comment

Finished 5m 4th $3.30 (Fr3) My Ruebe Star NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.5) R6196 race Sep 7 then out of position at the start and broke at the start when distanced 9th $12 (Fr4) Ohoka Jimmy NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.1) R6096 race Sep 14. Below par in recent starts but chance here on winning form earlier in the prep.

Finished 3.5m 3rd $3.50 (Fr8) Peraki Lincoln NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.7) R4156 race Jul 30 then eased early and checked when 24m 8th $4.00 (Fr10) Stardust Menangle 1609m (1:53.8) R4056 race Sep 10. Needs to find best.

Race comment

Scored handily over Speedy Dominic 4.5m $2.00 (Fr2) Penrith 1720m (1:57.8) R6068 race Aug 8 then good run when 1.2m 3rd $4.20 (Fr7) Doubledelightbrigade NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:57.1) R6577 race Sep 14. Holding form well and expected to race handily from this draw; could be in it for a long way.

Race comment

Tightened during running and checked and broke when distanced 5th $8.00 (Fr1) Fouroeight Cowra 2970m (2:02.5) R67100 race Sep 8 then handy win $5.00 (Sr1) over Lucky Unlucky 2.2m Young 2100m (1:58.9) R5778 race Sep 13. Racing well presently in weaker company and drawn suitably in this; solid each way hope.

Race comment

Eased early and held up for a run early in the straight when 8m 5th $9.50 (Fr5) My Ruebe Star NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.5) R6196 race Sep 7 then battled on gamely defeating Benalong Valley 0.7m $16 (Fr6) Menangle 1609m (1:52.1) R6096 race Sep 14. In the mix on last start narrow win in similar company.

Race comment

Eased early when 9.2m 7th $13 (Fr9) Pocket Of Terror Menangle 1609m (1:51.3) R56100 race Aug 17 then covered extra ground when 0.1m 2nd $8.00 (Fr6) Lexus With A View Menangle 2300m (1:54.2) R6898 race Aug 24. Narrowly beaten last start at this track and distance and well placed to atone.

Race comment

Caught the eye defeating Mister Haywood 2.2m $2.10 (Sr2) Cowra 2160m (2:02.9) R5678 race Sep 8 then battled on gamely defeating Fouroeight 0.7m $3.30 (Fr1) Young 1720m (1:55.6) R75109 race Sep 13. Winner at past two runs but faces a stiffer test here from a wide gate; consider for the exotics.

Race comment

Won $2.60 (Fr1) narrowly over The Times A Changing NZ 0.1m Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R5587 race Aug 31 then out of position at the start and held up for a run early in the straight when 9.7m 6th $3.80 (Fr4) My Ruebe Star NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.5) R6196 race Sep 7. Had genuine excuses last start and can't dismiss on consecutive wins prior.

Race comment

Eased early when 9.2m 8th $26 (Fr6) Admiral Bronski Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R6394 race Sep 7 then won $3.80 (Fr4) narrowly defeating Eh Ef El NZ 0.5m Menangle 1609m (1:53.3) R7385 race Sep 14. Can't take lightly on latest effort.
