Menangle Race 6 - Tab Inter Dom Pacers Fnl Grand Circuit Event G1

There is a sense of timing about DON HUGO (3). He has progressed beautifully through the series, improving off his resuming fifth in round one to win his next two heats. Impressed last week when he worked to find the front before zipping home. That took his record at this circuit and distance to three from four, including his Eureka triumph. Peaking and should get his chance from this draw. MINSTREL (11) has had a rollercoaster series but showed his talent in an opening heat win and was brave when racing parked from a similar barrier to go under by a head last week. He is tough and that could prove a crucial attribute. DANGEROUS (2) has been the discovery of the series, placing in his first two heats and beating Minstrel last week. The draw gives him every chance to be in the finish. CAPTAINS KNOCK (9) may need luck from this draw but he has been thriving on racing and has won from the back row in this series. Evergreen MAX DELIGHT (10) can get into the finish with a touch of luck.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Nerano at Bathurst over 1730m in a No NR on December 4 at $41. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind Don Hugo at this track over 2300m in a No NR on December 7 at $31. Solid top-four prospects with the aid of the inside draw.

In good form. Placed in the first two rounds of the series then last start won by a head (Fr6) at this track (2:40.40) beating Minstrel in No NR on December 7 at $7.50. Has been the big improver through the series and the good draw sees him likely to play a major role.

Solid run when beaten by 1.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Petes Said So at Bathurst over 1730m in a No NR on December 4 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Captains Knock at this track over 2300m in a No NR on December 7 at $34. Has the early speed to put herself into a prominent spot so is worth including.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 2nd (Fr1) over 2300m after showing early speed at this track was 2nd-4.14 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Don Hugo (2:41.00) in No NR on December 7 at $5.50. Two runs back 4th (Fr3) over 1730m after showing early pace at Bathurst was 8th-11.85 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Nerano (1:59.80) in No NR on December 4 at $7.50. Draws out and is likely to find this too tough.

Last start surrendered the lead and finished 5th (Fr8) over 2300m at this track beaten 9 m by Dangerous (2:40.40) in No NR on December 7 at $5.50. Two runs back won by 3.5 m (Sr1) at Bathurst (1:59.80) beating Dangerous in No NR on December 4 at $3.80 at the bell was 2nd-3.9. Draws wide but is capable and could be dangerous if the breaks go his way.

Going well. Last start won a big 5.5 m win (Fr7) at this track (2:40.60) beating My Moonlite Dream in No NR on December 7 at $3.70 at the bell was leading 3.72. Draws on the inside of the second line but has won twice in this series so is good enough to win with even luck.

Kicked off this series with a heat win three back at Newcastle. Handy effort when a close second behind Dangerous at this track over 2300m in a No NR on December 7 at $1.75. Draws on the back row but he is tough and talented so has winning claims.

Meets Don Hugo again after a 20 metres ninth at this track over 2300m in a No NR race on December 7. Upset winner in round two but is unlikely to threaten from this draw.
