Menangle Race 8

Menangle Park Glenlee Community Pace

Prize Money: $9,996

The recent form of CAULONIA COURAGE (1) doesn't leap off the page and he faded as favourite last start but that was in a higher-graded race. Gets the ace draw today so banking on that being enough to trigger his best form. ROMANEE NZ (6) was solid enough when midfield from this barrier in stronger company last time. Hadn't been too far away in his previous outings, placing at this circuit and distance three back. This is the lowest-graded race he has encountered for a while so he could break through. ROCKTAGONAL (9) scored back-to-back wins at Tamworth before a respectable third at his most recent appearance at this circuit and distance. Draws wider but he is going well. BALTUSROL (8) had had little luck since kicking off the campaign with a win and a second at this circuit and distance so may be worth another chance.

Recent efforts haven't been up to his best. Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at this track was 8th-17.57 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Colossal Hope (1:52.60) in NR up to 75 on March 10 at $23. The run previous 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 3rd-10.72 beaten 5 m by Catseye Beach (1:51.10) in NR up to 80 on February 28 at $19. This could be his chance to put a win on the board.

Comments

Last start solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 9th-18 beaten 5 m by Oakie Smokeshow (1:51.70) in NR up to 70 on March 17 at $51. Two runs back won by 9 m (Sr2) at Tamworth (2:25.10) beating Mister Cheese in NR up to 65 on March 5 at $9.50 at the bell was 5th-6.28. Draws wide but the recent form is hard to knock.
