Menangle Race 4 - Fran Fitzpatrick Cheryl Mcdowell Pink Bonnet (Group 3)
QUATRO MOTH (5) is under the care of a champion trainer of juveniles and kicked off her career with a win, taking advantage of the inside draw to lead and win by 3.3m at Melton. She draws wider but has the speed to get across and natural improvement is likely. Can go on with it. CONCILIATE (7) has been freshened since she led and faded to fourth over further in the Nutrien Equine Classic Final at Melton last start but had looked good in her other two starts over this distance, winning here on debut before romping home at Newcastle. Can bounce back. CAPTURE OUR HEART (6) has yet to win but has been good in all three starts, clocking in second in her first two before a fourth in the Gold Tiara. Freshened since but can be competitive. FAKE FRIENDS (9) has only once missed the top three in six starts and that came at G1 level. Placed against the boys in the Sapling Stakes the last time she raced here. Go well.

Two-year-old filly who has been thereabouts in recent starts. Last start 1st (Fr1) over 1730m after showing early speed at Bathurst was 5th-7.62 at the bell, beaten a head by Cheval Julia (2:09.30) in 2yo 2 WINs on April 30 at $5.50. Hard to have in this line-up.

Well beaten last start by Cheval Julia, who she meets again; was restrained, when 21 metres seventh at Bathurst over 1730m in a 2yo 2 WINs race on April 30. Will find this tough.
