Menangle Race 1

Summertime Premium Poultry Pace

Prize Money: $20,400

JOANS RISING STAR NZ (1) was enormous from this barrier when chasing boom mare Captains Mistress for a Group 1 second in the Queen of the Pacific at Melton last start, beating some big names home. Had scored back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance prior. Can add another. DARIN NZ (3) brings some good form from Brisbane having placed in his last two outings at Albion Park. Can measure up aided by the low draw. THE ANSWER (5) continued her good form from last campaign with a resuming second at this circuit and distance, coming from the widest barrier to go under by 1.5m. Draws closer to the pegs and is open to improvement. CLASSIC MISSION NZ (8) hasn't raced since October but produced some good form last campaign and should be ready to go off three trials.

Tougher draw last start when 5th (Sr2) over 1720m at Penrith, at the bell was 4th-7.72 beaten 9 m by Lochinvar Jag (2:02.50) in NR up to 90 on February 19 at $7. Showed ability the outing before when he ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 m (Sr2) at Penrith (2:02.80) beating Always Thunder in NR up to 80 on February 12 at $13 at the bell was 3rd-5.74.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second behind So Sirius at Albion Park over 1660m in a No NR MANUAL PACERS on January 31 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third behind Speak The Truth at Albion Park over 2138m in a No NR on February 14 at $13. Queensland visits who draws well so can measure up.

Last start was well back in the run when 9th (Fr6) over 2300m at this track beaten 21 m by Thalassophobia (2:43.30) in NR up to 95 on February 21 at $31. Two runs back was well back in the run when 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 25 m by Double Lou (1:51.70) in NR up to 90 on February 14 at $26. Form has tapered off of late.

Finished 1.5 m second behind Sky Blu at this track over 1609m NR up to 95 M when resuming last start. Before that was beaten 4 metres second at Melton over 2240m in 4yo G2 No NR M on November 29. Draws lower and will be fitter so can progress.

Draws wider last start and was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr8) over 2300m at this track beaten 1.1 m by Thalassophobia (2:43.30) in NR up to 95 on February 21 at $21. Showed ability the run before when he won by a head (Fr2) at this track (1:52.20) beating Thalassophobia in NR up to 90 on February 14 at $10. May be worth including.

Didn't do much last start, was well back in the run when 6th (Fr3) over 1609m at this track, beaten 19 m by Double Lou (1:51.70) in NR up to 90 on February 14 at $61. Before that 8th (Sr3) over 1609m at Newcastle beaten 18 m by Saint Crusader (1:52.30) in No NR on January 28 at $6. Tough draw and is struggling to find his best.
