Menangle Race 8 - Agnes Banks Performance Assessment Pace
SOHO TRUMP (2) chased boom youngster Hollywood Strip for a resuming third in the Listed Simpson Memorial at this circuit and distance. That was his first outing since since his Vicbred Super Series Final win at Melton in November so he should be fitter for it. Talented and can take advantage of the low draw. MAXO MIGHTY (1) jumps in grade off his fresh win at this circuit and distance but he led from wider there so is well served by the ace draw and is progressive. ALERT BAY (3) comes to the city for the first time but is hard to knock off three straight wins, coming from this barrier to beat a Group 1 winner at Wagga last start. BARNABY NZ (7) deserves respect after placing in the last two outings.

Having his second run back from a spell. Good run when 3rd (Fr1) over 1609m after showing early speed at this track, beaten 7 m by Hollywood Strip (1:50.40) in 3yo LR No NR on February 14 at $3. Talented and the good draw should see him hard to stop.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 5.5 m win (Fr3) at this track (1:52.50) beating Our Uncle Jim in NR up to 64 on February 17 at $10 at the bell was 3rd-7.58. Hard to leave out on current form. In form but facing some smart ones.

Two back was beaten by 9 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Wahaka at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 64 on February 3 at $2.70. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.75 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Baltusrol at this track over 1609m in a NR 61 to 64 on February 10 at $2.20. Go well again.
