Menangle Race 4 - Ironvita Nsw Derby Heat 3

There was plenty to like about the Australian debut of the capable Kiwi ZEUS LIGHTNING NZ (6) who chased boom colt Hollywood Strip when runner-up in the Simpson Memorial. Has switched to the powerhouse Jason Grimson yard since and has trialled well in that time so should have come on. FUGITIVE NZ (8) is another well-performed former Kiwi who kicked off for Mick Stanley with a win over older horses at this circuit before working for a 1.6m third in the Caduceus 3YO Classic at Melton. Cops a wide draw but has ability so could overcome that. EMPEROR (5) is still lightly-raced but is a horse on the up having led from this barrier to win at this circuit and distance last start. Gets to this level early in his career but clearly has talent. SOHO PARK AVENUE (7) got back in the Simpson Memorial but worked home well for fourth. Fitter and his strike rate at the mile stands at 50 per cent. MOVE IT LOU NZ (2) got close to a handy one in Brisbane at his Australian debut. Draws well and has upside.

Brings the right form to the table. Won by 2.25 m as favourite when quickly away, (Fr6) at Bathurst (2:06.80) beating Lookmeover in 3yo NR up to 58 on February 18 at $1.12 at the bell was leading 4.09. Two runs back came from midfield and won by 1.75 m as favourite (Sr2) at Bathurst (2:03.50) beating Cowboy Culture in NR up to 48 on November 5 at $2. Might find this beyond him.
