Menangle Race 6 - Pron8ure Probiotic Paleface Adios Stakes (Listed Classic)
Boom mare CAPTAINS MISTRESS NZ (7) has been unstoppable since crossing from NZ to the Jason Grimson yard, winning her four starts by margins of between 18m and 25m. Spanked some of the best mares in the country in winning the G 1 Queen of the Pacific at Melton last start and while she tackles the boys here she is blessed with abundant speed so relishes the mile and her forms stands out. FORTY LOVE (2) was a solid fifth after working from the back row in the 4YO Bonanza last start. Had put together a string of wins or placings prior and he draws for a top-three finish. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (8) was going well before he was also luckless when midfield after racing wide in the Bonanza. Draws a little deep but has been kept up to the mark with a trial win and is proven at this circuit and distance. CATCHAFIRE NZ (5) rises in grade but was a 2m winner in his first outing for Grimson and could step up. FERNCO NEL NZ (3) is a query off the last-start failure but had looked promising in Brisbane prior.

Last start 5th (Sr3) over 1720m at Melton, beaten 6 m by Hesitate (1:58.90) in 4yo G3 No NR on February 14 at $5.50. Before that, a solid effort when 3rd (Sr1) over 2080m at Cranbourne, beaten 3.5 m by War Dan Buddy (2:28.20) in 4-5yo G3 No NR on January 31 at $4.40. Look for improvement on last start. Capable and the good draw should see him competitive.

Failed to impress last start; 10th (Fr7) over 1609m after racing wide at this track beaten 24 m by Double Lou (1:50.00) in 4yo LR No NR on February 21 at $4.60. Showed ability the run before when he posted a big 10 m win as favourite (Sr3) at Albion Park (1:54.00) beating Betterthan Popsy in 4yo+ B 5 NR 55 or better on February 7 at $1.15. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Better than last start and draws well so may be worth another chance.

Recent efforts have been impressive. Last start won by 2 m as favourite (Fr2) at this track (1:50.00) beating Dance With Carmer in 4yo No NR on February 21 at $2. Good win for the new yard last start and could take another step forward.

Brings the right form to the table. Posted a big 24 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr7) at Melton (3:15.90) beating Joans Rising Star in G1 No NR M on February 14 at $1.20. Two runs back won by 18 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr5) at Cranbourne (2:26.90) beating Eye Keep Smiling in G3 No NR M on January 31 at $1.35. Boom mare who has been destroying her rivals and can do it again.
