Menangle Race 7 - Livamol Chariots Of Fire (Group 1)
CAPTAINS MISTRESS NZ (3) stretched her unbeaten record for Jason Grimson to five when leading from wider to score by close to 10m in last week's Paleface Adios. That made it four from four at the mile and her other wins since switching from NZ had been by huge margins of between 18 and 25m. Has the speed to take full advantage of the low draw so it is hard to see how they stop her. HESITATE (11) has been kept fresh since his resuming win in the Bonanza at Melton. The wide draw hurts but he is three from three when second up and was good enough to place in last year's Eureka. DOUBLE LOU (1) worked to the front from wider when winning the Hondo Grattan narrowly last start, his third success in four tries at this circuit and distance this time in. The ace draw should see him competitive. MY ULTIMATE BARNEY (2) will find it hard to turn the tables on Captain Mistress through last week's third but he enjoys a better draw. FINAL DEADLINE NZ (9) just missed from this draw last start. Include.

Scored at his last two starts. Last start won by a nose as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (1:50.00) beating Final Deadline in 4yo LR No NR on February 21 at $3.10 at the bell was leading 1.46. Hard to leave out on current form. The ace draw can see hi competitive again,

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing sixth behind Hesitate at Melton over 1720m in a 4yo G3 No NR on February 14 at $5. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Captains Mistress at this track over 1609m in a 4yo LR No NR on February 28 at $26. Can get into the first four aided by a low draw.

Comes here in the right form. Posted a big 9 m win as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr6) at this track (1:48.90) beating Sinaloa in 4yo LR No NR on February 28 at $1.10 at the bell was leading 3.55. Two runs back won by 24 m 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. Brilliant mare who can use her speed from this draw to win again.
