Menangle Race 8

Be Happy Mach @ Wingate Farm Pace

Prize Money: $9,996

MIKI COHEN NZ (6) enjoyed the drop to this grade when he led from a similar draw and went on to score by 1.7m at this circuit and distance. Finds a similar assignment so can salute once again. RAGING WHITEBAIT NZ (9) has been tackling stronger races than this and managed a placing here three back. Draws wide but will enjoy the drop to this company so could show his best. MCWIZARD (1) gets the ace draw and is looming as a threat after a good effort last start where he drew deeper and raced three wide without cover but fought on for a 3.3m third at this circuit and distance. BARTELLO (4) will strip fitter after coming from wider for third when resuming so could progress.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3.5 m third behind Sinaloa at this track over 1609m 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres seventh again at this track in NR up to 80 on January 24. Should get every chance from the ace draw.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Sky Blu at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 64 on January 20 at $7. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Wahaka at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 64 on February 3 at $6.50. Has a nice draw and could figure prominently from there.

Second-up here following a spell. Solid effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 10 m by Ooga Chaka (1:52.20) in NR up to 80 on January 17 at $8. Fitter so is one of the better chances.

Solid run when beaten by 3 m finishing fifth behind Roclea Image at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on January 24 at $15. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Montefiore at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 75 on January 31 at $6. Solid prospects.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track beaten 13 m by Montefiore (1:52.70) in NR up to 75 on January 31 at $19. At the start before solid effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten a neck by Vinke B (1:52.60) in NR up to 80 on January 24 at $2.50. Looking for a better result.

Improved last start with a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track was leading by 0.29 at the bell, beaten 1.75 m by Miki Cohen (1:52.70) in NR up to 75 on February 3 at $17. Can play a role with even luck.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr10) over 2300m at this track beaten 22 m by Huta (2:42.80) in NR up to 95 on January 24 at $21. The run prior 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 21 m by Captains Mistress (1:52.90) in No NR on January 17 at $26. Draws wide but can do a lot better in this suitable contest.

Last start failed to finish when he ran at Penrith on January 29 over 1720m. Two runs back 6th (Fr9) over 1609m after showing early speed and racing wide at this track was 2nd-2.5 at the bell, beaten 11 m by Red Reactor (1:53.10) in NR up to 75 on January 20 at $26. Prefer to see him perform well before recommending.
