Menangle Race 4 - Club Menangle Waratah Final
FAST TRACKER (11) has been excellent of late with three wins and a second from his last four starts. Made it two victories in a row when successful at his latest appearance at Narrabri. Must overcome a wide draw but is in fine form. KNOW THE SCORE (2) has been in the money in all three starts this preparation and went close again last start at Bathurst, finishing second and 4.5 metres from the winner. Peaking now and is aided by a nice draw. WHILEMENA RITA (4) draws well and must be respected after winning two of three starts this time in. Expect last-start winners BUSHY BEACH (7) and ROAD TO RECOVERY (3) to feature again in an open affair.

Solid performance when a close second behind Meraki at Bathurst over 1730m in a NR up to 57 on April 2 at $6. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4.5 m finishing second behind Happy Reg at Bathurst over 1730m in a 4yo+ NR up to 60 on April 16 at $18. Close to a win and can feature from a low draw.
