Menangle Race 2

Wards Accounting Group 2yo Pace

Prize Money: $11,832

Gold Tiara winner BIRDSONG (7) makes her first appearance since tackling a strong field in the Protostar in Brisbane in July. Readied with two solid trials and while drawn widest class will carry her a long way in this line-up. ROGUE BANDIT (4) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance at Bathurst. Readied with a trial win and has upside. SWEET LOUVRE (1) gets the ace draw and is a likely improver after debuting with a solid third at Penrith. KVITKA STRIDE (5) followed a debut win at Newcastle with a 3.3m fourth from a similar barrier to this at Penrith. Go well.
