Menangle Race 3 - Ultra Air Pace
ERUPT STRIDE NZ (3) starts from an inside draw after having drawn wide in all of his last five starts. Led all of the way to score here four starts back and could prove hard to beat. PROMISING (10) drew a wide gate last start and was well held, beaten 16 metres into sixth at this track over 1609m. Won well as the favourite over 2125m two runs back at Penrith and is worth an each-way ticket. PRECISE NZ (1) after having won three of her last five starts only finished sixth of 10 here last start after having drawn out wide. From the inside draw look well placed to return to winning form. THALASSOPHOBIA (4) is a winning chance after a string of sound recent performances, the latest a solid second at this track over 1609m when trying to lead all oft the way.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished a narrow second behind Hes A Meister at this track over 1609m NR up to 90 last start. Before that was beaten 4.5 metres third again at this track over 2300m in NR up to 80 on February 7. Ready to win.

Last start 5th (Fr2) over 1609m at this track beaten 18 m by Double Lou (1:51.70) in NR up to 90 on February 14 at $23. Two runs back surrendered the lead and finished 2nd (Fr6) over 1609m after showing early pace at this track, beaten a head by Still Rollin (1:50.80) in NR up to 90 on January 31 at $2.80. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing fifth after a quick start, behind Van Basten at this track over 2300m in a NR up to 95 on December 20 at $4. Then a handy effort when a close third after showing early speed, behind Hes A Meister at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 90 on February 14 at $5.50. Sure to be there at the business end.

Backs up 4 days after failing to impress last start; was well back in the run when 6th (Fr9) over 1609m at this track was 9th-20.75 at the bell, beaten 16 m by Montalbano (1:52.50) in NR up to 75 on February 17 at $7. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 5 m win as favourite (Sr2) at Penrith (2:32.50) beating Jalaneel in NR up to 90 on February 5 at $2.50 at the bell was 2nd-2.65. Looks very hard to beat.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after being driven well back, behind Craftmans Charlie at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 105 on January 31 at $10.
