Menangle Race 1 - Opportunity Knocks @ Apg Sales Pace
OFF THE CHARTS (5) is an interesting newcomer to the Luke McCarthy yard from WA. Hasn't raced 12 weeks but closed off last campaign in good form, clocking in third at Gloucester Park last start and winning at Pinjarra three back. Readied with a trial placing so could make an immediate impact. PABLO ROCKS (8) found the New Years Gift Final beyond him when chasing a flying mare last start but this suits better and he was good when he resumed with a 4m second at this circuit and distance prior. LENNETH (1) didn't do a bad job when a 5m fifth from a wider barrier last week and looks well served by the ace draw. GUARANTEED END (2) faded when well fancied last start but looked good in the resuming win prior and draws well so is worth another chance.

Last start was well back in the run when 5th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track beaten 5 m by Joans Rising Star (1:51.30) in NR up to 80 on January 24 at $16. Before that, a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1720m at Penrith beaten 7 m by Give Me A Minute (2:02.90) in NR up to 62 on January 15 at $5. Should get his chance from the favourable draw.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 1.4 m when quickly away, (Fr4) at Bathurst (2:03.70) beating Shazadele in NR up to 62 on January 14 at $3.40 at the bell was leading 4.3. Two runs back 4th (Fr4) over 2040m at Parkes, beaten 20 m by She The Devil (2:28.90) in NR up to 70 on January 7 at $4. Might find this tough.

Resuming after 12 weeks off the scene. Finished off last preparation when beaten by 9 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Nutbush Girl at Gloucester Park over 1730m in a 0-1W/18 0K stake on November 7 at $8. Newcomer to the McCarthy yard from WA and readied with a nice trial so could kick off with a win.

Comes here in the right form. Was well back before the turn; won by 3 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at this track (1:53.10) beating Gipsy Princess in NR up to 75 on January 20 at $23 at the bell was 8th-17.9. Two runs back was well back in the run when 4th (Fr7) over 1609m at this track, at the bell was 8th-16.7 beaten 5 m by Bravo Stride (1:52.70) in NR up to 64 on January 13 at $23. Might need easier.

Last start was well back in the run when 8th (Fr8) over 1609m after racing wide at this track beaten 23 m by Captains Mistress (1:52.90) in No NR on January 17 at $23. Before that, a game effort despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr4) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Still Rollin (1:49.70) in 4-120yo+ 1W/20K Stakes on January 10 at $5.50. Better placed and can be in the finish.
