Menangle R6 Cobbitty Grove Kitchens Pace

Race comment

Out of position at the start when distanced 10th $10.00 (Fr2) Pitch Perfect NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.6) R6297 race Sep 7 then raced well when 0.7m 2nd $7.00 (Fr5) Effronte Menangle 1609m (1:54.4) R6296 race Sep 14. Narrowly beaten last start and second row draw not a significant hindrance as he usually races back in the field; expected to be finishing over the top of them here.
