Menangle Race 8

Bettors Delight - The King Returns In 2024 Pace

Prize Money: $9,996

PETES SAID SO (9) is an accomplished pacer who had enough speed to cross and lead from this same barrier before sticking on for second at his most recent outing, beaten 4.6 metres at this circuit and distance. Had been taking on stronger company before that. His best form wins this. GORDONS BAY (7) will be fitter for his resuming effort against stronger opposition at Listed level. Owns a good record at this circuit. Can progress. MASTER CATCH (8) backs up from Saturday and drops in grade. Draws wide but is capable of measuring up in this sort of race. The ace draw could see a better showing from SURF ACE (1).

Last start was well back in the run when 7th (Fr7) over 1609m after racing wide at this track, at the bell was 7th-13.55 beaten 11 m by Major Fire (1:51.60) in NR 68 to 70 on October 15 at $101. At his previous start 5th (Fr8) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track was 5th-7.13 at the bell, beaten 4.5 m by Our Uncle Jim (1:52.80) in NR up to 70 on September 24 at $11. Exotic hope from this draw.

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 9th (Fr9) over 1609m after being wide early at this track, at the bell was 10th-18.6 beaten 19 m by Major Fire (1:51.60) in NR 68 to 70 on October 15 at $41. Before that was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track beaten 19 m by Surfers Delight (1:53.70) in NR up to 95 on October 12 at $41. Hard to make a case.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 1720m at Penrith beaten 21 m by Total Diva (2:01.70) in NR up to 90 on October 10 at $15. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2.5 m when quickly away, (Fr4) at Newcastle (1:53.40) beating Ashark in No NR on October 4 at $5. Drawn well and can play a role.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last start. Won by 1.4 m (Sr1) at Newcastle (1:51.70) beating Roclea Image in NR 71 to 80 on October 18 at $9 at the bell was leading 0.29. The run before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh behind Metallica Man at Newcastle over 1609m in a NR 72 to 90 on October 11 at $71. Go well.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Jilliby Nitro at this track over 1609m in a No NR on June 22 at $17. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.1 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr1) at Riverina Paceway (2:05.90) beating King Of Trumps in NR up to 58 on July 8 2022 at $1.22. First-up record is strong so follow any market moves.

Last start was well beaten into ninth after being driven well back, behind Don Lou at this track over 1609m in a LR No NR on October 19 at $151. Raced better the start before that with a game effort when 3rd (Sr2) over 1609m at Newcastle, at the bell was 5th-5.92 beaten 3.5 m by Metallica Man (1:54.20) in NR 72 to 90 on October 11 at $4.40. Better placed.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Nerano at this track over 2300m in a No NR on October 5 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Surfers Delight at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on October 12 at $1.65. Big chance to find the winners' list.
