Menangle R8 ALLIED EXPRESS CLAIMING PACE

Race comment

Fought on well defeating Untitled 0.5m $9.00 (Fr5) Menangle 2300m (1:57.4) C6788 race Apr 28 then eased early and checked when 1.7m 3rd $7.50 (Fr10) Jonah Jones NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.6) C6986 race May 8. Narrow winner at this track two back and not beaten far last start; likely to be competitive again.
