Menangle Race 5

Nutrien Equine Nsw Breeders Challenge 3yo Fillies - Semi Final 2

Prize Money: $25,000

Brilliant filly ARK SEA (6) returns to the city following two dominant wins off a spell, leading to cruise home by 18m in a heat of this series when fresh at Bathurst then coming from the back row to beat older rivals at Wagga last time. Has the speed to go forward again from this draw so can add to a good record at this circuit and distance. ONE MORE REASON (8) is going well and made it two wins from her last three outings at this venue and distance when she worked to the front from a similar draw and got home by more than 5m last week. Expect her to push forward and be prominent again. YIRRADIVA (4) will relish a better draw having come from wide or second line barriers for a win and placings behind the top two sections in her last three starts. SEASIDE BOULEVARD (9) beat ARK SEA when runner-up in the Queensland Oaks last campaign. Draws wide but should be nearing her peak third up.

Two back was well beaten into second behind Ark Sea at Bathurst over 1730m in a 3yo on September 30 at $10. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind One More Reason at this track over 1609m in a 3yo on October 13 at $6. Has a low draw and can go well again.

Racing in fine form. Won her last two outings at Riverina Paceway and Bathurst. Last start posted a big 4 m win as favourite (Sr1) at Riverina Paceway (2:00.40) beating Business In Heaven in on October 9 at $1.10 at the bell was 5th-11.8. Classy filly who can maintain her unbeaten run so far this campaign.

Going well. Last start posted a big 5 m win after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (1:50.20) beating Seaside Boulevard in 3yo on October 13 at $2.50 at the bell was leading 4.53. In form and looks a danger.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Eye Wish at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a 3yo on October 4 at $3.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind One More Reason at this track over 1609m in a 3yo on October 13 at $2. Draws wide but building in fitness and is capable.

Racing consistently with minor placings at her last two starts. Placed last start 3rd (Sr1) over 1730m at Bathurst beaten 21 m by Ark Sea (2:01.30) in 3yo on September 30 at $34. Before that 2nd (Sr2) over 1720m at Penrith was 3rd-4.24 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Bev The Goat (2:01.80) on September 17 at $3.40. Not keen this time.
