Menangle Race 7 - Cordina Chicken Farms Pace
BARTELLO (2) was well fancied and only went under narrowly when placed at this circuit last week. Draws closer to the pegs and gets his chance in what looks a suitable assignment. JILLIBY FABIO (1) made a winning start for the new yard when he led from a wider barrier and kept going to score by close to 7m at this venue and distance. Has the gate speed to take advantage of the inside draw so could back that up. RED REACTOR (9) draws wide but there was plenty of merit in last week's effort when only 3.2m off the winner. OUR UNCLE JIM (4) didn't have the best of luck last start but has claims off a placing from the back row prior.

Last start won by 6 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at this track (1:52.60) beating Surf Ace in NR 63 to 70 on March 18 at $1.90 at the bell was leading 3.8m on the pegs. Won't spend a penny from this draw. Draws to advantage and expected to go close again.
