Menangle R5 RYDGES CAMPBELLTOWN ACCOMMODATION PACE

Race comment

Held on well when 10.2m 8th $23 (Fr6) Molly Kelly Menangle 1609m the GROUP3 Autumn Gift (grp3) Mar 21 then ran 14m 2nd $1.20 (Fr9) Tact Tama NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.0) R5061 race Apr 14. Lightly raced and started at short odds when a well beaten second last start; drawn out again but worth another chance.

Race comment

Raced roughly when 12.2m 2nd $2.30 (Fr2) Navua Star Menangle 1609m (1:53.4) R5058 race Mar 17 then a comfortable winner $1.90 (Fr4) over First String 7m Penrith 1720m (1:55.1) R4756 race Apr 9. Improving with racing this prep and winner at this stage last campaign.

Looked good defeating Wha Hae 1.7m $9.50 (Fr2) Menangle 1609m (1:54.5) R5255 race Apr 2 then ran 32m 3rd $8.50 (Fr8) Tact Tama NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.0) R5061 race Apr 14. Has returned to racing in solid form with a win and a third at last start and was placed third up last prep.

Race comment

First start since spell. Raced roughly and broke during running when 35m 9th $1.80 (Fr6) Magnifico To Watch Newcastle 1609m (1:58.7) 2C0-2C1 race Jun 28 then handy win $5.50 (Fr4) defeating Studleigh Paul 4.2m Menangle 1609m (1:55.5) 2R3540 race Aug 13. Returning for a second preparation and though unplaced on debut should have benefited from that experience.

Race comment

Eased early when 10.2m 2nd $18 (Fr8) Raging Sea Menangle 1609m (1:54.8) R4752 race Apr 2 then slow to begin when 62.5m 7th $41 (Fr1) Tact Tama NZ Menangle 1609m (1:51.0) R5061 race Apr 14. Does not win out of turn but could fill a minor spot.

Race comment

Covered extra ground when 4.7m 2nd $23 (Fr3) Rockin With Elvis Menangle 1609m (1:52.6) 3R4760 race Mar 31 then eased early, inconvenienced and held up for a run early in the straight when beaten 10.5m 4th $6.50 (Fr5) Katchar Shoobee Menangle 1609m (1:54.3) 3R4756 race Apr 7.
