Menangle Race 7 - Success Stud Nsw Trotters Derby (Group 1)
ENCHAUFFOUR (10) draws wide but has been good from the back row in his two Victorian outings since a spell, last time beaten 2.7m into second at Geelong. Won his lone third-up attempt so should be peaking now and showed his ability in winning last season's Breeders Crown final. GATESYS GEM (9) aims to complete the NSW Oaks-Derby double after proving too strong for the fillies last week, leading and hanging on to get home by a metre at this circuit and distance. Tackles the boys and draws much wider but should be at her peak third-up and is a big talent. Last season's Vicbred Super Series winner COMMODUS (8) showed improvement when runner-up at Ballarat last week and won his lone third-up attempt so is another that should be hitting peak fitness. LOTUS LOUISE (3) is racing well at this venue with placings in both starts since a fresh win, all from wider barriers. Draws to play a role. SAN JUAN MOUNTAIN (7) deserves respect after winning three of four starts at this venue this time in.

Solid run when beaten by 2 m finishing second behind San Juan Mountain at this track over 1609m in a 3yo No NR CG on April 15 at $2.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 8 m finishing third behind San Juan Mountain at this track over 2300m in a 3yo No NR on April 29 at $2.90. The low draw brings him right into contention.

Last start 2nd (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 3rd-8.09 beaten 8 m by Cee Are Seven (1:57.40) in NR up to 54 on May 13 at $9. Two runs back 4th (Fr2) over 2300m at this track was 3rd-7.2m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 12 m by Oria (2:56.40) in 3yo No NR on April 29 at $2.50. Might find this beyond her.

Resuming after four-and-a-half months off the scene. Finished off last campaign recording by a head (Fr4) at Melton (2:05.70) beating Christmas Babe in NR up to 54 on January 3 at $4.60 at the bell was 2nd-1.7m 2WNC. Previous preparation first-up came from midfield and won by a head as favourite when driven back in the field, (Fr7) held up early, at Ballarat (2:10.30) beating Iberian in 2yo MAIDEN on December 19 at $1.40. Market watch fresh.

Well beaten last start by Gatesys Gem, a rival who she faces again; when 55 metres fifth at this track over 2300m in a 3yo G1 No NR F race on May 10. Not keen this time.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start tracked on the speed and boxed on steadily; posted a big 7 m win after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (2:52.00) beating Ezra Kai in 3yo No NR on April 29 at $10 at the bell was 2nd-4m on the pegs. Hard to leave out on current form. Must respect winning form.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind Promise Dream at Cranbourne over 1609m in a NR 54 to 60 on April 18 at $1.30. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing second behind Jakarta at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 56 to 64 on May 8 at $1.35. Open to further improvement and is good enough to take this out.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 1.0 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr1) at this track (2:47.50) beating Tracy The Jet in 3yo G1 NSW Trotting Oaks on May 10 at $2.30. Takes on the boys tonight and draws wider but is a big chance to land the Oaks-Derby double.
