Menangle Race 3 - Yirribee Stud Ladyship Pace
DRAW A DREAM (10) led as a hot favourite in her first outing for Luke McCarthy last week and while she couldn't see it out she boxed on to go under by less than 2m. That was her first outing for eight months and she has won two of three second-up attempts so is sure to be improved. Draws wide but is nicely placed is this lesser grade. Hard to knock the consistency of REFUSAL (5) who was edged out by a nose in a handy line-up last start, giving her three wins and three placings from her last six starts. She can be in the finish again along with SIREN SEA (4) who was just behind REFUSAL last start and had been close to the placegetters in her previous two outings at this circuit and distance. FARFALLA STRIDE (3) was last seen when winning from a wider draw here in September. Yet to win fresh but was readied with two nice trials and strikes at 50 per cent at this circuit and distance. BABY YOUR THE ONE (9) has been racing consistently on country tracks so deserves respect.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth behind Double Lou at this track over 1609m in a 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on January 24 at $12. Then a handy effort when a close third behind Precise at Goulburn over 2240m in a NR up to 70 on February 1 at $6.50. Draws well and is among the chances again.

Promising type show didn't do much at the end of her last preparation. Fair return to racing first up good run when 3rd (Fr5) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track beaten 2 m by Sky Blu (1:53.20) in NR up to 95 M on February 7 at $1.45.
