Menangle Race 3 - Bubba Gump Pest Control Pace
DOUBLE ACT (7) gave a good sight here last week, leading and fighting on well for a 1.2m second to an in-form rival. Draws a couple of spots wider but has the gate speed to offset that and is in the division two race this week so looks suited. LAMANDIER (3) steps up in grade but is racing well, overcoming a wide barrier to score at this circuit and distance before a 2.6m second over further last week. Draws to play a role again. It's been a while since MACH DA VINCI (10) has been at his best but he was readied for his return with a trial and his A-game would win this. FAZE OF GLORY (9) has the hoof on the till after back-to-back seconds, the latest at this venue and distance when he came from this same barrier. CAULONIA COURAGE (1) has placed in his last two outings here and draws to play a role again.

Good run when beaten by 4.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Our Uncle Jim at this track over 1609m in a 5 0K/5 Starts on July 21 at $5. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Dance And Deliver at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on July 26 at $17. Exotic claims from the inside draw.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 5 m by Dance And Deliver (1:51.90) in NR up to 95 on July 26 at $26. Before that, 5th (Fr3) over 2300m at this track beaten 7 m by Ardens Ace (2:43.90) in NR up to 95 on July 19 at $51. Look for improvement on last start. Not out of it.

Last start 10th (Fr10) over 1609m after racing wide at this track beaten 18 m by Dance And Deliver (1:51.90) in NR up to 95 on July 26 at $7.50. At his previous start 8th (Fr8) over 1609m after being wide early at this track, beaten 12 m by Craftmans Charlie (1:52.10) in NR up to 95 on July 5 at $13. Draw slower so expecting a better result this time.

Resumes. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Kanena Provlima at this track over 1609m in a No NR on May 17 at $15. Has trialled and his best form would see him hard to stop.
