Menangle Race 8 - Wards Accounting Group Pace
KAYSANS ROCK NZ (8) showed improvement in his second local appearance since switching from NZ, clocking in fourth in stronger company at this venue. Should be approaching peak fitness and while drawn wider he looks well placed in this line-up. POWER UP (4) continued his good form with a third at his latest appearance, giving him three placing from his last four outings here. Can play a major role. SURF ACE (5) has the hoof on the till after he finished runner-up over in his last two outings at this circuit. OOGA CHAKA (10) draws out but is worth plenty of thought after coming from a similar barrier for a last-start win by 3 metres at this venue and distance. Something for the Multiples: POWER UP NZ (4)

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Timmy Rictor at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on March 14 at $26. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Ooga Chaka at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 70 on March 25 at $3.90. Likely to play a major role.
