Menangle Race 6 - Warrawee Needy Standing At Yirribee Pace

IMA BOXA (8) is a lightly-raced but progressive gelding who has had two months off but was kept up to the mark with a trial win here. Took his record to four from five by winning at Goulburn when last seen, putting 11 metres on his nearest rival. Interesting to see what unfolds from the wide draw but has the Hart/Grimson combination behind him. BALTUSROL (7) has returned in good order, winning at this circuit and distance first up before leading from this barrier for a 3.6m second last week. Proven third-up. Major player. DUTY OF CARE (6) has to come into calculations after placing in his last three outings at this circuit and distance. This looks a suitable assignment for AMERICAN HAMMER NZ (5) who missed by just a nose the last time he raced here.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Cash And Bling at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 75 on February 14 at $3.20. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2 m finishing second after showing early speed, behind Our George Boston at this track over 1609m in a 4-020yo+ 0W/20K Stakes on February 21 at $6.50. Going well and expected to be in the finish.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won a big 11 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Goulburn (2:46.20) beating Miki Be Good in NR up to 70 on January 2 at $2.40 at the bell was leading. Talented and has strong claims.
