Menangle R4 GATORADE PACE

Race comment

Very impressive winner $7.50 (Fr4) defeating Dukkah 19.5m Bathurst 2260m (1:56.5) 3R4363 race Mar 23 then beaten 13.5m 6th $41 (Fr5) Focus Stride Bathurst 2260m the 3Y-GP1 Gold Chalice Final (grp1) Mar 28. Has the speed to overcome the wide draw here and hard to beat on commanding win (over 19m) at his previous run.

Beaten 31m 6th $81 (Sr1) Dr Susan NZ Bathurst 2260m the 3F-GP1 Gold Bracelet Final (grp1) Mar 28 then a comfortable winner $1.60 (Fr8) defeating Little Pom 7.7m Menangle 1609m (1:55.0) R3851 race Apr 6. Comfortable win last start over this track and trip and stays in the mix despite meeting stronger opposition here.

Race comment

Tired over the latter stages, hung out and tightened during running when 30m 8th $6.50 (Fr1) La Perla Bella NZ Penrith 1720m (1:56.5) R4955 race Feb 27 then eased early when 14.2m 3rd $23 (Fr10) Raging Sea Menangle 1609m (1:54.8) R4752 race Apr 2. Place chance again.

Finished 14.5m 4th (Fr1) Bandsix Penrith 1720m (2:00.5) R4049 race Jan 30 then looked good defeating Tajie Baby 1.7m $19 (Fr6) Menangle 1609m (1:57.8) R3547 race Apr 6. Winner at this course and distance last start but likely to find this tougher.

Race comment

Eased early when 17.7m 5th $11 (Fr4) Vincenzina Bathurst 2260m (1:58.3) 3F4768 race Mar 23 then broke at the start when 8.5m 3rd $5.50 (Fr2) Our Antonio Rose Bathurst 2260m the 3F-LR Gold Bracelet Consolation (lr) Mar 28. Fitter for two recent runs from a spell and could be on the up; contender.

Race comment

Scored handily defeating La Bomba 2.2m $5.50 (Sr1) Penrith 1720m (2:00.8) R3947 race Mar 19 then beaten 9m 2nd $41 (Fr2) Modern Metropolis Menangle 1609m (1:55.0) R4957 race Apr 6. Lightly raced and can't dismiss entirely on current form.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 5.7m 2nd $15 (Fr6) Power To Bolt Canberra 1770m (2:01.0) R4753 race Mar 23 then eased early when 14m 3rd $41 (Fr5) Modern Metropolis Menangle 1609m (1:55.0) R4957 race Apr 6. Could figure in the finish here.

Race comment

Ran 14m 5th $2.10 (Fr5) Aymar NZ Newcastle 1609m (1:59.5) R4855 race Mar 14 then hung out when beaten 17.5m 7th $16 (Fr5) Flying Scribe Menangle 1609m (1:54.5) R5255 race Apr 2. Not hopeless on solid win four back.

Race comment

Out of position at the start and broke during running when distanced 10th $13 (Fr2) Superbass NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.7) R5676 race Mar 17 then finished 21m 8th $13 (Fr2) Masons Delight NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.9) R5673 race Mar 31. Suited here and expect a sharp improvement on past couple efforts.

Race comment

Resuming from a spell. Broke during running when 37m 9th $41 (Sr1) The Announcer NZ Menangle 1609m (1:52.0) C0-C1 race Feb 5 then broke during running when distanced 8th $41 (Fr8) Times Stride NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.5) C0-C1 race Mar 19. Resumes here and poor in both runs last prep; need to see again.
