Menangle Race 9

Pryde's Easifeed Trotters Mbl

Prize Money: $20,400

ALMIGHTY FEAR NZ (6) has been thereabouts over the longer trips here recently, and though is form over the mile is only modest, those runs have been in good company. He is likely to make a play for the front here, and if he leads, he will take plenty of pegging back. PESCO POLLO (9) brings the strongest recent form to the table after a determined 2-metre victory over this track and distance last start. He was a game fourth in G3 company over this trip before that, and he looks the one to beat. VALTINO (3) was an upset winner her 11 days ago, and he can make full use of this good draw. Stick with him. LEAF STRIDE NZ (11) had found his form two starts ago before breaking last time and finishing sixth, beaten only 7 metres. If he can stay focused, his best form gives him a chance. Each way value.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 3rd (30m) over 2300m at this track beaten 2.75 m by Wynberg Watch (2:53.20) on August 11 at $4.60. Before that beaten 11 metres, seventh at this track over 2300m on August 8. This looks a far sterner task.

Two runs back 4th (Fr9) over 2300m at this track, at the bell was 4th-6.1 beaten 10 m by Watts Up The Hill (2:49.80) on July 21 at $6. Stick with him on an each-way basis.

Last start 5th (10m) over 2300m at this track, beaten 6 m by Pesco Pollo (3:00.70) on August 8 at $34. Two runs back then settled down to finish sixth over 1609m at this track last start. Is not the worst at odds.

Comments

Last start then managed to finish sixth over 2300m at this track last start. Before that, a solid effort when 2nd (FT) over 2300m at this track was leading by 4.86 at the bell, beaten 1.3 m by Sunny Gee (2:50.40) on July 11 at $9.50. Can do much better this time.
