Menangle Race 3 - Farmer Joes Wholesale Pace
ALWAYS BE CHAPS (5) was successful last time out by 1.4 metres at Newcastle over 1609m afetr leading all of the way as the favourite. Having his first start at this track and should be fighting out the finish. CHICAGO BART (6) has been racing well this prep, filling a top-three position at his last four starts including a third most recently at this track over 1609m after he led early and then took up a trailing position. Won't find this any harder and he can return to winning form. MONTEFIORE (8) is heading the right way, improving last time out as the favourite to finish second at this track over 1609m after getting checked in the early running. He has won all of his nine victories at this track and can atone. MAURLEN BOY (7) must be considered after he finished third over 1609m at this track a week ago after he was checked with 800m to run. Include in exotic bets.

Two back was well beaten into seventh behind Ever Art at Albion Park over 1660m in a No NR M on August 9 at $13. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after being driven well back, behind Oliver Dan at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on August 23 at $101. Should be in the finish again.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start won by 2.25 m after showing early speed, (Fr9) at this track (1:52.60) beating Spitfire in NR up to 60 on August 18 at $4 at the bell was leading 2. Hard to leave out on current form. Is among the chances again.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Royal Division at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on August 9 at $8. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Vite Monet at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on August 16 at $3.60. Looks very hard to beat.
