Menangle Race 4 - Irt Horse Transport Pace

MAC BON (7) is a progressive colt who scored an upset win in the G2 Breeders Crown 2CG Final at Melton two back before a Listed success on protest at Newcastle last time. Has had two months off but was kept up to the mark with a trial and won his lone try at this distance. Take beating. MICHAEL CAINE NZ (4) was checked and broke on Saturday but was ticking along well prior having produced some decent efforts this time in. This looks a suitable assignment so expect him to make an impact. HALF HOLIDAY (1) steps up in grade but is flying at present with two successive wins to his name, most recently at Newcastle. Could keep the ball rolling. OTIS RISING (2) can be competitive again after a solid fourth from this barrier last week. Something for the Multiples: PARALLEL (5)
