Menangle Race 6 - Bioworma Sprint
THE JANITOR NZ (1) had a taste of the big time when a very close third to topliners Don Hugo and Leap To Fame when last seen in December's Blacks a Fake in Brisbane. Comes into this fresh but races well that way and has been readied with two trial wins. Has won here a couple of times before and should get his chance from the ace draw. KINGMAN NZ (8) drew poorly and copped interference so was brave in the Hunter Cup. Back to the mile but has a decent record at it and strikes at 50 per cent here. Brilliant in a couple of big wins late last year and could roar back into winning form. RAKERO ROCKET NZ (5) was gunned down as a hot favourite in last week's Newcastle Mile but had clocked terrific times in winning his previous two starts at this circuit and distance. Last-start Hunter Cup winner SWAYZEE (12) is better known over further and faces a task from the outside barrier but is all class. This is much tougher than what PINSEEKER NZ (2) faced in his last-start win but he draws to be competitive

Returns after three months in the paddock. Finished off last campaign when a close third behind Don Hugo at Albion Park over 2680m in a G1 No NR on December 6 at $7. Previous preparation first-up won by 1.5 m as favourite (Sr1) at Albion Park (1:54.20) beating Regazzo Di Tilly in B 5 No NR on May 10 at $1.85. Trialling strongly and the ace draw gives him chance for a winning return.

Hard to fault of late. Last start won by 1.75 m (Fr9) at this track (1:49.70) beating Ubetcha Tigerpie in No NR on February 21 at $3.60 at the bell was leading 4.25. Tackles a stronger line-up but a low draw helps so has each way claims.

Two back was well beaten into second after being driven well back, behind Captains Mistress at Cranbourne over 2080m in a G3 No NR M on January 31 at $4.20. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Captains Mistress at Melton over 2760m in a G1 No NR M on February 14 at $8.50. A low draw could see her sneak into the first four.

Last start won by a neck (Fr2) at Melton (3:14.40) beating Leap To Fame in G1 No NR on February 14 at $7. Cops a tough draw but is all class and was tough in winning the Hunter Cup last start so must still rate highly.
