Menangle Race 7 - Bubba Gump Pest Control Pace
BAINBRIDGE (9) resumes from a spell and looks forward enough for this after a recent trial win at Goulburn. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Likely to run a big race fresh-up to kick off this campaign and rates well as a leading chance. VAN BASTEN (1) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten a neck after racing onside the leader for most of the trip. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw and is in the mix. LAMANDIER (5) looks close to a win after two successive seconds at this track, the latest over 1609m after racing four-back on the fence at this track. Capable enough of taking this out. UNFAZED (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by a nose at this track over 1609m after starting from the widest gate. From a better draw today has to be respected.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after being driven well back, behind Major Hot at Albion Park over 2138m in a B 5 No NR on August 9 at $34. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Titian Raider at this track over 1609m in a 5 0K/5 Starts on August 26 at $2.80. Rates highly.

Improved last start with a game effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Titian Raider (1:52.50) in 5 0K/5 Starts on August 26 at $10. Decent effort last start. With even luck is a winning chance.

Last start 5th (Fr3) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track was leading by 2.32 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Betterthancash (1:50.90) in NR up to 95 on August 23 at $10. At his previous start 4th (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track beaten 6 m by Caulonia Courage (1:51.20) in NR up to 95 on August 16 at $6.80. Better than recent form suggests.

Two back was well beaten into second after a quick start, behind Vite Monet at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 80 on August 16 at $14. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Betterthancash at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on August 23 at $23. Hard to beat.
