Menangle Race 1 - Ainsworth Pace (New Years Gift Heat 1)
SMOOTH BUZZ (4) was no match for superstar Swayzee in the G3 Shirley Turnbull Memorial at Bathurst last start but he did well to beat home some handy pacers and clock in second. That continued his consistent form having placed behind the progressive Im The Falcon in his previous two outings at this venue. This suits. JOELITA (6) is a handy mare who looks close to a win off back-to-back placings here. Runner up in a Listed race for the mares two back then drew wider and raced three deep when third last time. Big chance. RESET THE BAR (7) took his record to five from eight when leading for a fresh win at Bathurst. Up in grade and draws wider but has plenty of upside. HAVEYOUCHECKEDIN (5) brings solid form from Brisbane and owns a decent record at this distance. Something for the Multiples: RESET THE BAR NZ (7)

Two back was well beaten into third behind Im The Falcon at this track over 1609m in a No NR on December 14 at $31. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after showing early speed, behind Swayzee at Bathurst over 2790m in a G3 No NR on December 26 at $23. Continues to race well and can go close.

Looked good last start. Won by 1.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Bathurst (2:02.60) beating Comprehend in NR up to 60 on December 26 at $1.30 at the bell was leading 4.2m on the pegs. Two runs back posted a big 4.5 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Albion Park (3:18.50) beating Dragon in 3yo No NR on July 27 at $1.55. Has upside and could take the next step.
