Menangle R1 PEPSI MAX CLAIMING PACE

Race comment

Failed to get a clear run when 11.2m 8th $10.00 (Fr2) Redbelly Jack Menangle 1609m (1:53.4) R6188 race Apr 28 then solid effort when 10.5m 4th $31 (Fr2) Elle Yeah Menangle 1609m (1:52.7) R74102 race May 5. A winner from this draw and a winner over the track and trip; this is easier than in recent starts.

Ran 20.5m 10th $5.50 (Fr8) Untitled Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) C7290 race Apr 21 then hung in during the race and raced roughly when 3.2m 3rd $51 (Fr8) Controversial NZ Menangle 2300m (1:57.4) C6788 race Apr 28. Not out of it on latest effort when he did few things wrong.

Race comment

Eased early when 8.2m 6th $5.50 (Fr7) Untitled Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) C7290 race Apr 21 then fought on well defeating Untitled 0.5m $9.00 (Fr5) Menangle 2300m (1:57.4) C6788 race Apr 28. Last start winner and coming back in distance not a concern.

Finished 14.7m 8th $23 (Fr1) Controversial NZ Menangle 2300m (1:55.7) C6695 race Mar 31 then beaten 15m 7th $101 (Fr1) Untitled Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) C7290 race Apr 21. Prefer others.

Finished 3m 3rd $16 (Fr5) Redbelly Jack Menangle 1609m (1:53.4) R6188 race Apr 28 then beaten 19.5m 8th $7.00 (Fr4) Elle Yeah Menangle 1609m (1:52.7) R74102 race May 5. This is easier than last start and was placed in this grade two back.

Race comment

Finished 4.5m 7th $4.60 (Fr5) Untitled Menangle 1609m (1:54.3) C6790 race Apr 14 then beaten 5.5m 6th $26 (Fr3) Controversial NZ Menangle 2300m (1:57.4) C6788 race Apr 28. Races on pace and could fill a spot.

Race comment

Very impressive winner $2.80 (Fr8) defeating Controversial NZ 14.5m Menangle 2300m (1:56.3) C7094 race Oct 22 then sound effort when 11.2m 4th $34 (Sr1) Timely Sovereign Penrith 2125m (1:58.3) R7394 race Apr 23. Is a multiple winner at this course and distance and fitter for the first up fourth; he is also proven second up.
