Menangle Race 1 - Huntsville Standing At Cobbitty Equine Farm Pace
SWEETHEART BART (1) has had a series of wide barriers but has been racing well from there. Missed by just a neck in an Autumn Gift heat two back before a solid fourth in last week's final. This looks easier and he should get every chance from the ace draw. ITZMINEONTHELINE (2) scored a win at this circuit last month and looks close to another success after a string of placings. Came from much wider when beaten just a head last week so will enjoy the lower draw. FRANCO TYSON (3) took advantage of the inside barrier to win at this circuit and distance last week, his fourth success from his last five outings. Draws to feature again. KING TINTIN (7) has had a month off but goes well fresh and put together a string of wins earlier in the campaign so respect.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Speculating at this track over 2300m NR up to 80 last start. Before that was beaten 3 metres second at Penrith over 2125m same class on March 15. Has a nice draw and expected to figure prominently again.

Has been racing well this preparation and showed plenty of improvement following March 15 run. Last start posted a big 3 m win when driven back in the field, (Fr5) held up early, at Newcastle (2:27.00) beating John Mclean in NR up to 68 on March 21 at $3.90. This race will be harder than that win. Prefer others on this occasion.
