Menangle Race 6 - Farmer Joes Wholesale Pace
CATCHAFIRE NZ (9) will have to overcome a wide draw to continue his strong form but is hard to knock having added to his series of top-two finishes since a spell by winning at this circuit and distance last time. Race fit and going well enough to win from out there. BUSINESS IN HEAVEN (5) hasn't been far away from wider draws in his last two outings here, placing last week. Only 2.2m away over this distance prior. Could take advantage of the lower draw to break through. SET UP (10) is much better than what he showed last start and was an easy Penrith winner prior. Draws wide but his form through the Breeders Challenge series here was good enough to see him competitive. LOYAL LOU NZ (1) was an impressive winner by 15m at Bathurst when making his Australian debut on Wednesday. Backs up and jumps quickly in grade but gets the ace draw and has plenty of upside. CYNICAL (2) is another stepping up in class but she is progressing strongly with back-to-back wins here and draws well.

Has won at his last two outings. Last start posted a big 19 m win as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (1:53.20) beating Michael Caine in 3yo+ 1LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR50 on October 27 at $1.28 at the bell was leading 4.12. Hard to leave out on current form. Tougher test here but draws well and is progressive.

Finding it hard to put a couple of good runs together. Last start was 2nd (Sr2) over 1730m at Bathurst beaten 2 m by Shevchenko (2:03.90) in NR up to 53 on November 5 at $4. Before that beaten 17 metres, sixth at Newcastle over 2030m NR up to 53 on October 24. Place best at this level.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 4 m third behind Itoje at this track over 2300m NR up to 80 last start. Before that was beaten 2.25 metres fourth again at this track over 1609m same class on November 1. Draws lower and is one of the primary contenders.

Racing consistently with minor placings at his last two starts. Placed last start was driven from back in the field when 3rd (Fr5) over 1730m at Bathurst, beaten 1.2 m by Whilemena Rita (2:03.50) in NR up to 63 on November 5 at $2.60. Before that 2nd (Fr2) over 1730m after showing early speed at Bathurst beaten a neck by Cheeky Kiss (2:03.60) in NR up to 62 on October 29 at $2. This looks a far sterner test.

Last start was well beaten into eighth behind Alta Sierra at Penrith over 1720m in a NR up to 90 on October 30 at $1.55. Performed better the start before where he came from midfield and posted a big 11 m win as favourite (Fr2) at Penrith (2:33.00) beating Mr Teddy in NR up to 67 on October 16 at $1.65 at the bell was leading 3.06. Can bounce back to his best.
