Menangle R7 COOL RIDGE PACE

Race comment

Safely held when 4.2m 2nd $2.70 (Fr6) Superbass NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.7) R5676 race Mar 17 then good effort when 0.1m 2nd $2.60 (Fr5) Masons Delight NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R5673 race Mar 31. Solid in all three runs this prep and goes well at this track and distance; still to peak.

Finished 21.5m 9th $3.50 (Fr3) Masons Delight NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R5673 race Mar 31 then eased early when 5.5m 4th $34 (Fr7) Royal Aurora Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) R6172 race Apr 7. Needs to lift a notch to feature.

Caught the eye defeating Arama Reactor 3.7m $1.10 (Fr3) Young 1720m (1:55.6) R5865 race Mar 13 then beaten 18.7m 10th $4.40 (Fr1) The Texas Ranger Menangle 2300m (1:57.4) R6295 race Mar 21. This easier than last start and previous form consistent.

Race comment

Won $2.80 (Fr6) narrowly defeating For All We Know 1m Newcastle 1609m (1:54.7) R5668 race Mar 9 then commanding winner $1.40 (Fr6) over Bettys Lass 12.7m Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) R5666 race Apr 2. Winner at both runs this prep and while this is slightly tougher warrants respect here.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $2.40 (Sr2) defeating Caesareal 2.7m Newcastle 2030m (2:01.4) R4661 race Mar 28 then eased early and failed to get a clear run when beaten 18m 10th $31 (Fr9) Royal Aurora Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) R6172 race Apr 7. Third-up and did win at his only previous 3rd-up start.

Race comment

Handy effort when 5.5m 5th $19 (Fr6) Mach Da Vinci NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.3) R5167 race Feb 11 then a comfortable winner $1.10 (Fr10) over La Patata 12m Newcastle 2030m (1:59.4) R5766 race Feb 17. Drawn poorly but not out of it on easy last start win.

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Convincing win over Joes Star Of Mia 7m $3.80 (Fr4) Bathurst 1730m the GROUP3 Breeders Challenge 4YOE&G (grp3) Jul 29 then beaten 3.5m 2nd $4.10 (Sr1) Bettermatch Wagga 1755m (1:59.0) C2-C3 race Aug 14. First-up, proven first-up, and has won 10 of 27 career starts; among the winning chances despite a sticky draw.

Race comment

Finished 9.2m 3rd $1.70 (Sr2) We Salute You Wagga Paceway 2270m (1:56.4) R6177 race Mar 31 then eased early when 17.5m 9th $19 (Fr10) Royal Aurora Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) R6172 race Apr 7. Mixing form presently and need to treat warily.

Race comment

Fought on well defeating Lets Go To Brazil 0.1m $9.50 (Fr4) Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R5673 race Mar 31 then eased early when 2.5m 2nd $4.40 (Fr6) Royal Aurora Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) R6172 race Apr 7. Suited these conditions and stays in the mix.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $1.30 (Fr2) defeating Pikarso 4.7m Menangle 1609m (1:52.6) 3R4760 race Mar 31 then eased early when 15.5m 8th $4.60 (Fr8) Royal Aurora Menangle 1609m (1:52.8) R6172 race Apr 7. Minor excuse last start and better drawn here; won consecutive races prior and could bounce back.
