Menangle R8 SOMERSBY CIDER PACE

Race comment

Checked when beaten 13m 5th $81 (Fr4) Rockin With Elvis Menangle 1609m (1:53.0) 3R4756 race Mar 17. Just out of the placings on debut; could win this with even luck in running.

Race comment

Back from a spell. Finished 2.5m 2nd $48 (Fr4) Crime Dont Pay Canberra 1770m (2:01.4) 3R4450 race Jan 28 then raced roughly and broke during running when 48.5m 7th $5.50 (Fr5) Our Money Rocks Canberra 1770m (2:00.1) 3R4450 race Feb 2. Lightly raced runner back from a spell; could need this run.

Race comment

First start since spell. Broke twice in running when distanced 10th $2.20 (Fr1) Our Antonio Rose Young 1720m (1:59.3) 3R4250 race Dec 3. Back from a spell and was well beaten at his only start but had genuine excuses; was fancied in that and worth keeping safe.

Race comment

By For A Reason out of Titian Sally making debut. Gets a sticky draw here but trial form solid.

Race comment

Checked when 32m 5th $3.50 (Fr2) Kahliadenise Lombo Newcastle 1609m (1:56.2) R4750 race Mar 9 then solid effort when 10.5m 3rd $13 (Sr2) Little Bliss Penrith 1720m (1:57.9) R4751 race Mar 19. Third up here and further improvement expected.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages when distanced 6th $69 (Fr1) Brevity Bendigo 2150m (1:56.6) 3C0-3C1 race Apr 23 then checked when beaten 13.2m 6th $6.30 (Fr4) Seelster Shannon Canberra 1770m (2:05.1) R3750 race Mar 23. Minor place only.

Race comment

Raced roughly, tightened during running and checked when 20m 6th $34 (Fr1) Mach Angelo Bankstown 1740m (2:01.9) R4052 race Jan 24 then tired over the latter stages and tightened during running when 81.5m 10th $4.80 (Fr1) Vincero Penrith 2125m (2:01.1) R3546 race Feb 13. Winless in 13 starts and not fancied.

Race comment

Beaten 61.5m 7th $18 (Fr4) Kahliadenise Lombo Newcastle 1609m (1:56.2) R4750 race Mar 9 then eased early when 15.5m 4th $19 (Fr4) Little Bliss Penrith 1720m (1:57.9) R4751 race Mar 19. Fitter for recent runs and worth an each way ticket.

Race comment

Covered extra ground and tired over the latter stages when 47.5m 6th $52 (Fr5) Lynnsanity Penrith 2125m (2:02.5) 3C0 race Aug 16 then raced wide early and covered extra ground when 15.5m 9th $16 (Fr3) Dushyant Penrith 1720m (2:00.8) R3947 race Mar 19. Poor when resuming but came off a similar run on debut to be placed second up last prep; watch.

Race comment

Resuming. Held up for a run early in the straight when 7.7m 6th (Sr14) Demeter NZ Motukarara 2000m (2:06.0) Mr4050 race Jan 27 then hampered at the 900m when 29m 10th (FT) Taroona Bromac NZ Rangiora 1950m (2:03.5) Mr4050 race Feb 6. Returning for a second preparation and though unplaced on debut should have learned from that run.
