Mandurah Race 4

All Torque Engineering

Prize Money: $4,683

NALAH PATANGA (1) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 5 lengths into third (22.68) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Overdue and is among the main hopes. QUEST FOR STEPS (2) is a promising type who notched her 9th career success when too good (17.15) at this track last time. Solid record here at this trip including two wins. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from three starts. Sure to be thereabouts. FROGS MONELLI (3) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (22.80) in a Grade 4 at this track. Has a good record here including four wins. Likely to be about the money. MERL'S LAD (5) is a surprise last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (22.68) at this track over 400m. Has run slick time here with a 22.42 PB at the distance. Go close.

Last start finished sixth on July 31 over 488m at this track behind West On Harry, beaten 7 lengths (28.39) in a Free For All. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on July 31 over 400m at this track behind Sheeran Melody beaten 5 lengths (22.68). Others hold stronger claims.

Surprised two starts back at this track to win by half a length in 27.62, beating Aston Bradley. Last start finished last over 488m at this track beaten 8 lengths (28.50) behind West On Harry in a Free For All on July 31. Looking to others this time.

Comments

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a sixth over 400m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
