Menangle Race 8 - Be Happy Mach @ Wingate Farm Pace
EL CAMINO (5) has had three starts back from a let-up so should be hitting peak fitness now and will enjoy a class drop after taking on stronger company, last time clocking in fifth from a wider barrier. This is a more winnable assignment. EVER ART (2) took on some good fillies last season, winning at Group 3 level. Hasn't raced since the G1 Vicbred Super Series Final in September but has trialled and hasn't missed a place when fresh. Draws well so expect a strong showing. POWER UP (1) was brave in winning despite racing up to four wide here last week. Draws to enjoy the favours so could go back to back. JALANEEL (4) drew wider in his last two outings but was racing well prior so can do better from this draw.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind Jilliby Fabio at this track over 1609m in a NR 63 to 70 on March 18 at $41. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Sahara Sirocco at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on March 28 at $34. Looking to others.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 7 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr4) at Penrith (2:03.70) beating Whataboyjack in NR up to 80 on March 27 at $4.40. Hard to leave out on current form. Must respect winning form.
