Menangle R5 TAB ODDS AND EVENS PACE

Race comment

Raced well when 4.2m 2nd $3.50 (Fr1) Alta Orlando NZ Menangle 1609m the GROUP1 Schweppes Sprint (grp1) Feb 29 then covered extra ground when 10.7m 5th $10.00 (Fr2) King Of Swing NZ Menangle 1609m the R99120 Miracle Mile (grp1) Mar 7. Likes this distance range (15 from 32) and had an excuse last start ; Group1 winner last prep and showed glimpses of that form with sound second in Schweppes Sprint (G1) two back; hard to beat here on that form.

Hung in during the race when 5.7m 7th $126 (Fr2) My Field Marshal NZ Menangle 1609m (1:49.3) R89120 race Feb 15 then held up for a run early in the straight when 1m 2nd $7.00 (Fr6) Misterfreeze Menangle 1609m (1:51.6) R87114 race Mar 14. A winner at this course and distance earlier this preparation and recent form encouraging; definite danger from a low draw.

Good effort when 1m 2nd $10.00 (Fr7) Jack Farthing NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.0) R98118 race Mar 3 then suffered gear malfunction when 27.5m 7th $6.50 (Fr1) Cash N Flow NZ Menangle 1609m the GROUP3 King Of Swing FFA (grp3) Mar 14.

Finished 2.2m 2nd $8.50 (Fr1) Molly Kelly Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R7486 race Mar 3 then scored handily over Maximan NZ 5m $8.00 (Fr7) Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R70109 race Mar 14. One for the exotics on latest effort.

Covered extra ground when 0.1m 2nd $4.80 (Sr2) Smooth Sailor Bathurst 1730m (1:54.6) R7493 race Mar 4 then fought on well defeating Alpine Stride 1m $12 (Fr2) Menangle 1609m (1:51.6) R87114 race Mar 14. Tougher here but hard to knock current winning form.

Race comment

Eased early and failed to get a clear run when 10.5m 10th $151 (Fr9) Bettors Heart NZ Menangle 1609m the MS-GP1 Ladyship Mile (grp1) Feb 29 then safely held when 5.5m 2nd $16 (Fr9) Bettor Enforce NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.2) R65111 race Mar 14. Holding form fairly well and stays in the mix.

Eased early when 14.5m 6th $18 (Fr8) Power Of Red Menangle 2300m (1:54.5) R72116 race Dec 14 then eased early and held up for a run early in the straight when 8.5m 6th $71 (Fr10) Misterfreeze Menangle 1609m (1:51.6) R87114 race Mar 14. Might need few more runs to reach peak fitness.
