Menangle R8 ASAHI PACE

Race comment

Inconvenienced when 2.5m 3rd $11 (Fr1) Sociable NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) R6191 race Mar 14 then eased early when 8m 6th $61 (Fr10) Molly Kelly Menangle 1609m the GROUP3 Autumn Gift (grp3) Mar 21. Could find this easier than in recent starts and has claims on close third two back.

Race comment

Poor effort when 9.5m 8th $16 (Fr4) Cardlesfromheaven Albion Park 1660m (1:55.8) R7098 race Feb 29 then handy win $5.00 (Fr5) over Alleluia NZ 3.5m Menangle 1609m (1:52.1) R5496 race Mar 31. Respect on last start win this track and distance.

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 3.7m 5th $13 (Fr2) Gotta Be Downtown NZ Penrith 2125m (1:58.0) R7391 race Mar 12 then checked and checked and broke when beaten 31m 5th $10.00 (Fr2) Pitch Perfect NZ Newcastle 2030m (1:56.3) R7398 race Mar 21. Drawn well and could figure here.

Race comment

Finished 13.2m 3rd $8.00 (Fr4) Under Worked NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.2) C6597 race Mar 17 then eased early when 9m 5th $17 (Fr6) Chapter One NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.1) R5496 race Mar 31. Take on trust.

Race comment

Finished 22m 10th $81 (Fr10) Sociable NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.3) R6191 race Mar 14 then eased early when 1.2m 2nd $7.50 (Fr4) Makoa Menangle 2300m (1:55.3) R6791 race Mar 21. Close up last start and drawn the pole; contender on latest effort.

Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 6m 5th $7.50 (Fr4) Royal Gamble NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:56.7) R81116 race Mar 14 then eased early and covered extra ground when 9.5m 7th $9.00 (Fr8) Makoa Menangle 2300m (1:55.3) R6791 race Mar 21. Raced wide last start; assess on prior placed effort; each way.

Race comment

Finished 13.7m 7th $71 (Fr4) Double Encounter Penrith 2125m (1:57.7) R6793 race Feb 20 then beaten 9.2m 6th $26 (Fr2) Si Si Senor NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:55.6) R6983 race Mar 9. Needs to lift.

Race comment

Eased early when 13.5m 4th $81 (Fr9) Superbass NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.7) R5676 race Mar 17 then eased early when 14.2m 5th $101 (Fr9) Havtime NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.5) R6076 race Mar 21. Could run into a minor place.

Race comment

Tightened during running and raced roughly when 0.4m 2nd $9.00 (Sr1) Gotta Be Downtown NZ Penrith 2125m (1:58.0) R7391 race Mar 12 then covered extra ground when 48m 9th $12 (Sr2) Ned Pepper Penrith 2125m (1:55.3) R7491 race Mar 19. Looks vulnerable here.
