Menangle Race 6 - Success Stud Celebrating 58 Years Of Business Pace
STITCHED UP DAN (8) led as a hot favourite when resuming for the new yard at Penrith last week and fought on well to miss narrowly. Draws wide but has won second-up before so should be improved and may enjoy the mile more. MICHAEL CAINE NZ (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.6 metres from the winner in third at this circuit and distance. Should enjoy an economical run from this lower draw. D J ROCK NZ (4) is looming as a threat after a good effort last start, finishing third at this circuit and distance after drifting back but working home well. RIO DE JANEIRO BLUE NZ (6) has been solid of late including a win from a wider barrier here two back.

Fair run when beaten by 5 m finishing fifth behind Rio De Janeiro Blue at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on February 24 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5 m finishing second after being driven well back, behind Major Icon at this track over 1609m in a 3yo+ 2LTW so eligible 3yo+ NR55 on March 3 at $12. Can feature from the good draw.
