Menangle Race 3

Wards Accounting Group 2Yo Pace

Prize Money: $11,832

DECOUPAGE (7) made a strong debut when she came from this barrier and raced wide but worked home well for second to a smart filly in the Listed Pink Bonnet at this circuit and distance. Should be better for that and the drop in grade to a maiden is a significant one. FACET PRINCE (4) backs up after he started a hot favourite on debut and looked good in coming from this barrier to score by 5 metres at Penrith last week. Looks to have some talent and could go on with it. NIGHT WITCH (1) is looming as a threat after placing in both starts so far, missing by just a head at Bathurst last time out. Should get her chance from the ace draw. MAXIMIAN (6) draws wider than when runner-up to FACET PRINCE last week but has placed in three of four stars so far.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing third behind Machzine Mahoney at Bathurst over 1730m in a 2yo MAIDEN F on April 22 at $5. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Lexy Belle at Bathurst over 1730m in a 2yo 1 WIN on April 29 at $11. Gets the aced draw so another strong performance is expected.

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind Passion And Pain at Penrith over 1720m in a 2yo 2 WINs on April 30 at $67. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Facet Prince at Penrith over 1720m in a 2yo MAIDEN on May 7 at $23. Needs easier.

Won on debut raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 5 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr4) at Penrith (2:10.30) beating Maximian in 2yo MAIDEN on May 7 at $1.30 at the bell was 2nd-1.58. Shows promise and strips fitter.

Two-year-old gelding lining up for the second time. At debut 8th (Fr2) over 1720m at Penrith, beaten 50 m by Tuapeka Gold (2:06.50) in 2yo NR up to 55 on April 23 at $19. Probably needs more time.

Two-year-old filly facing the starter for the second time. At debut game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, beaten 8 m by Shes A Delaney (1:53.90) in 2yo LR No NR F on May 2 at $10. Good effort from this draw on debut and progression is likely.
