Menangle Race 2 - Bestinbeds.com.au Pace
DOUBLE ACT (5) registered yet another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to finish third over 1609m at this track, adding to a string of four recent placings at this track. Big chance based on those recent efforts. ROCLEA IMAGE (8) scored at this track three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when fourth over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Meets a similar line up and can finish in the money. CRAFTMANS CHARLIE (2) won here two runs back when leading all of the way but disappointed last time when finishing eighth over 2300m at this track when sent out at long odds. Looks better placed here and can atone. CAULONIA COURAGE (1) won two straight here before finishing seventh last start over 1609m at this track when having little luck in the running after having drawn out wide. From the inside draw should be finishing in the top-three.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr8) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Oliver Dan (1:48.50) in NR up to 95 on August 23 at $34. Showed ability the race before when he posted a big 3.5 m win (Fr3) at this track (1:51.20) beating Double Act in NR up to 95 on August 16 at $12.10. Best form puts him right in this.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr4) over 2300m at this track, at the bell was 9th-16.95 beaten 11 m by Kingman (2:41.50) in No NR on August 23 at $61. Showed ability the race before when he won by 3.5 m (Fr2) at this track (2:45.00) beating Spirit Of Arion in NR up to 95 on August 9 at $5.50 at the bell was leading 1.53. Can improve enough to feature.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind The Janitor at Albion Park over 2138m in a 4yo G3 No NR on July 19 at $26. Then a handy effort when well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Miki To Success at this track over 2300m in a 3-4yo No NR on August 23 at $34. Hard to beat.

Fair run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Caulonia Courage at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on August 16 at $3.10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Betterthancash at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on August 23 at $6. Honest and is a strong winning chance.
