Menangle Race 8 - Agnes Banks Equine Clinic Pace
SPRINGFIELD AFFAIR (5) came from four-back on the fence to finish second here last start over 1609m after pacing roughly early due to making contact with another sulky. In what is an even line-up on paper can go one place better. TOMAHAWK BART (9) following a bold run for second at Albion Park two runs back only battled in the run home last start when finishing fifth at Redcliffe over 2040m. Has drawn the widest gate but finds the right field here to return to form. Well worth a second look. THE METAL FLYER (2) is in the mix following a solid third last start over 1609m at this track after racing three back on the fence for most of the trip. He has placed in both of his last two runs and from an inside draw can't be overlooked. FLO RYDA (6) only finished fifth over 2125m at Penrith last time out when after leading early trailed the leader. Can return to form and for value is worth including in exotic bets.

Solid run when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Messerati at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 70 on July 28 at $19. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Classic Mission at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 70 on August 4 at $7.50. Among the top chances on recent form.
