Menangle Race 3 - Remembering Diane Richard-Evan Pace
RAVISHING SLOY (11) is racing well with a string of placings since landing a win at this circuit, last time crossing to the front and boxing on for third in the Goulburn Cup. Draws wide but his form is strong for this so goes on top. MONTEFIORE NZ (2) is in good form with a string of top-four finishes at this venue. Has the benefit of a good draw so can make an impact. THE METAL FLYER (5) has placed the last two times he raced at this venue, last time drawing widest and racing three deep without cover before sticking on for a 1.4m third. Contender. PROMISING (8) is good enough to measure up to these with his A-game while JOHN MCLEAN NZ (6) hasn't been far away of late and can get into the finish.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing fourth behind Lochiel at this track over 1609m in a NR 49 to 63 on April 15 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Whyiman at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 60 on April 22 at $3.20. Progressing well. Draws well but this is tougher.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing sixth after being driven well back, behind Joe Nien at Penrith over 1720m in a NR up to 90 on April 3 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third behind Seve at this track over 1609m in a 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on April 12 at $26. Can give a good account.

Solid run when beaten by 2.25 m finishing third after a quick start, behind No Heart Throb at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on April 12 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after a quick start, behind Whereyabinboppin at Goulburn over 2240m in a No NR on April 13 at $19. In fine form and is good enough to overcome the draw.
