Menangle Race 5 - Club Menangle Sue Kelly Ladyship Stakes (Listed Classic)
LUX AETERNA (11) has shown her class in winning two of her last three starts at this circuit and distance, the latest when beating a fellow Group 1 winner in the Breeders Challenge 4M Final. Draws wide but came from a similar barrier for a Listed win here last month and has the class edge on this field. PANDAIA NZ (10) led and faded last time but was beaten only 1.4m into third when resuming here prior. Draws out but is better off back against her own sex and is proven third up. SHEZ SWEET LOUISE NZ (4) draws lower than last time and did get within a head of LUX AETERNA at Listed level last month. SHEZ THE REASON (8) draws wide but hasn't been too far away of late so is worth including along with ALFNALMA (5) who jumps in grade but is racing consistently.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Fr1) over 1770m after showing early speed at Canberra beaten 25 m by Platinums Boy (2:09.10) in NR up to 40 on November 3 at $13. Before that 9th (Fr2) over 1720m at Penrith was 4th-6.71 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Leave It To Lucy (2:05.60) in NR up to 48 on October 23 at $151. Hard to have on those efforts.

Seven-year-old mare showed improvement last time. Won by a nose after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Penrith (2:32.40) beating Lenneth in NR up to 53 on November 6 at $2.80 at the bell was 2nd-0. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into fourth behind Gimme A Reason at Penrith over 1720m in a NR 40 to 52 on November 3 at $6. This looks too much of a step up.

Before that, a game effort when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track beaten 1.4 m by Delightful Star (1:50.70) in NR up to 90 M on November 1 at $7.
