Menangle Race 5 - Irt Your Horses Our Passion Pace
GIMME A REASON (10) recorded three successive placings at this circuit then worked to the lead and drew away to score last time out by 7.7m at Goulburn. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position but he is going well enough to overcome it. HEAVENLY REASON (6) did a good job for third last start at Maitland over 1646m, beaten 2.8 metres. Expecting a good showing in this line-up. MICHAEL CAINE (7) backs up after performing well at big odds here on Saturday, beaten 5.5m into fourth in stronger company. In the mix. JUST ROCKNROLL (3) deserves respect after coming from a similar draw and finishing runner-up at Goulburn last time out.

Resumes. At the latest first-up run 10th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 50 m by Aerodyne Guy (1:54.40) in No NR on February 6 at $81. Has been in work for a little while but after a lengthy break may need the run.

Won three starts back at Canberra over 1770m 3yo+ NR up to 40 on December 9. Last start was well back in the run when 6th (Fr8) over 1710m after racing wide at Goulburn, at the bell was 8th-21.2 beaten 14 m by Gimme A Reason (2:01.80) in NR up to 48 on December 30 at $51. It may pay to forgive the latest effort.

Failed to impress last start; 9th (Fr1) over 2125m after showing early speed at Penrith beaten 30 m by Rio De Janeiro Blue (2:34.60) in NR up to 57 on December 27 at $6.30. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 16 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr3) at Penrith (2:06.80) beating Ultimate Ad in NR up to 48 on December 19 at $3.40 at the bell was leading 0.95. A good run would not surprise.
