Menangle Race 3 - Able Doors Pace

CURLY JAMES (9) has been building towards a win with some decent efforts at Melton of late, last time chasing along the sprint lane for third. Draws out but usually performs well at this distance so has winning claims. Highly-accomplished pacer DISTRICT ATTORNEY (8) draws wider than when he faded out in last week's resuming effort but he strikes at 50 per cent when second-up so is a likely improver. KANENA PROVLIMA (7) was a beaten favourite here on Tuesday but came from wider to win two back so is capable of more. Something for the Multiples: JOE NIEN (3)
