Menangle Race 9 - Schweppes Ladyship Pace
LET HER ROLL (2) had no luck from a wider barrier in last week's NSW Oaks heat but she found the line well for fourth. Had put together a strong record in Victoria prior including a fresh win at Melton two back and a Breeders Crown win last season. She'll be close to her peak third-up and should get every chance from this draw. EVER ART (7) drops in grade off a G3 last week and had finished runner-up in her other three starts this time in, two of them behind star mare Eye Keep Smiling. She looks nicely placed in this line-up. BELLA DANZA (4) is going well with two wins and two seconds from her last five starts. Beaten only 3.5m in a higher-graded race last time and while freshened since she draws well. BOULEVARDOFDREAMS (6) won well first up at Bathurst then drew wide and worked so wasn't disgraced when fourth here last time. Respect along with TWILIGHT HEAVEN (5) who beat her home for an upset win here last start.

Last start 4th (Fr1) over 1609m at Newcastle, beaten 3.5 m by Dadndave (1:53.90) in NR up to 90 on May 2 at $9. Two runs back 6th (Fr5) over 2270m after showing early speed at Riverina Paceway beaten 30 m by Eye Keep Smiling (2:42.20) in 4-5yo LR No NR M on April 19 at $101. This looks far too tough.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr9) over 2300m after being wide early at this track was 9th-16.94 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Miss Ari (2:44.30) in 3yo No NR F on May 3 at $2.80. Two runs back won by 3.5 m as favourite (Sr1) at Melton (2:01.00) beating Ubetta Knot in NR up to 79 M on April 12 at $1.18. No luck last start and draws favourably so looks hard to stop.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Eye Keep Smiling at this track over 1609m in a No NR M on March 28 at $11. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Tay Tay at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 M on April 5 at $7.50. One of the contenders.

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 6th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 16 m by Pandaia (1:50.50) in G3 No NR M on April 26 at $51. Showed ability the race before when she won by 6 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr7) at this track (1:52.50) beating Joelita in NR up to 85 M on April 12 at $3.30. One for the exotics.
